My dad has had a hemorrhagic stroke can you help please. What should we do?
Supportive care: Since you use the term "had", it seems that your dad has survived the acute phase. Thus, the natural history of the hemorrhagic stroke is that the body will slowly absorb the blood and the surrounding edema will go away. Certainly, your neurologist can help with preventing future strokes. But to help functionally, he will need physical, occupational, and speech therapy. ...Read more

What's the difference between ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and embolic stroke?
Pathophysiology: Ischemic stroke occurs when an artery to the brain is blocked.A thrombotic stroke occurs when diseased or damaged cerebral arteries become blocked by the formation of a blood clot within the brain. An embolic stroke is also caused by a clot within an artery, but in this case the clot (or emboli) forms somewhere other than in the brain itself. Hemorrhagic stroke is sudden bleed into the brain. ...Read more
