Prevention

Treatment and control of underlying disorders may reduce the risk of developing intracerebral hemorrhage. High blood pressure should be treated. Do not stop taking medications unless told to do so by your doctor.

Conditions such as an aneurysm can often be treated before they cause bleeding in the brain.
