Prevention
Treatment or control of causative and risk-related disorders may reduce the risk of developing intracerebral hemorrhage. High blood pressure should be treated as appropriate. Do not stop taking medications unless advised to do so by the health care provider.
Minimize the risk of head injury by using appropriate safety equipment and safety precautions in sports, recreation, and work. For example, use hard hats, bicycle or motorcycle helmets, and seat belts. Do not dive into water if you do not know the depth of the water or if there may be rocks under the surface.
If you are taking a blood thinner (such as coumadin), follow your doctor's instructions on how to take the medicine and when to have blood tests for monitoring the medication.
