Patient's question:
Pregnant and went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said the child might have epilepsy due to underdeveloped brain. But neither my wife nor I have this disease. My wife's father has this disease.Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy has an irregular genetic impact in a few cases, which is not significant for most people. The extent of its impact mainly depends on the cause. Among relatives of primary epilepsy patients, the incidence rate is 3%–4%, while for secondary epilepsy patients, it is 0–1%. This indicates that primary epilepsy has a greater impact, and the closer the blood relationship, the higher the incidence rate. Epilepsy patients can marry, but they should wait until their condition is fully controlled and they have been off medication for more than six months before planning to have children. Epilepsy is also known as "" (). Due to its complex causes, there are many treatment methods available currently, but most rely on Western medicine to control symptoms, which means it cannot be completely cured. As a result, many patients travel far and wide in search of a cure, only to find that there is no effective treatment available, leading to a loss of confidence in treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine offers unique methods for treating epilepsy with traditional Chinese herbs, which are fast-acting and highly effective. Many patients who have been treated do not experience recurrence. I recommend using traditional Chinese herbs such as Tianma (Gastrodia elata), Hupu (Amber), Lingyangjiao (Antelope Horn), Musk, Chaihu (Bupleurum), Guizhi (Cinnamon Bark), Shichangpu (Calamus), Qingyangshen (Aconitum carmichaelii), Baijingscan (Bombyx mori), Gouteng (Honeysuckle), Yangpilecao (Herba Epilobii), Zhenzhumu (Mother-of-pearl), Tiemadan (Iron Gall Powder), Longjicao (Isatis indigotica), and Gancao (Licorice) to treat epilepsy. Generally, one to six treatment courses can lead to recovery. These traditional Chinese herbs have functions such as invigorating the body, dispelling pathogens, calming the mind, promoting blood circulation, removing dampness and phlegm, reviving the brain, strengthening the spleen and boosting qi, and nourishing the marrow. They fundamentally regulate the functions of the internal organs, making them the most effective medicine for completely curing epilepsy, a stubborn condition. The active ingredients of these herbs can easily penetrate the blood-brain barrier and directly target the core of the affected brain tissue, inhibiting abnormal discharges in brain cells. They rapidly compete with neurotransmitter receptors and simultaneously repair damaged brain nerve cells, fundamentally curing epilepsy recurrence. This successfully breaks through the previous treatment methods that could only control symptoms but not eliminate the root cause, allowing epilepsy patients to achieve complete recovery.Contraindications: Avoid mental stress, smoking, and alcohol. Also avoid radishes, garlic, eggplants, mutton, goose meat, and fatty meat.
I hope you receive proper treatment and recover soon!
