Patient's question:
I and my wife got married when we were 26 years old. After the wedding, my wife got pregnant. It was very difficult for her to give birth to the baby, but after she was born, the baby didn't cry. Later, during the postpartum period, she also had symptoms of limb convulsions and eyes rolling up. We were very scared. Later, we learned that she had epilepsy.What kind of help do you want to get: Is surgical treatment for infantile epilepsy good?
Doctor's answer:
According to the description, if pediatric epilepsy requires surgical treatment, there must be certain conditions. The patient must be truly drug-resistant epilepsy. Some epilepsy patients mistakenly believe that epilepsy is a lifelong disease, excessively fear and exaggerate the side effects of antiepileptic drugs, and mistakenly think that surgery can completely cure epilepsy, and actively recommend surgery. For these patients, it is necessary to be cautious. As a chronic disease, pediatric epilepsy, the most common method to prevent recurrence is the long-term use of antiepileptic drug therapy. For patients who are not satisfied with drug treatment, methods such as the ketogenic diet, surgical treatment, and vagus nerve stimulation can also be adopted. Wishing you good health!
