Patient's question:
What are the preventive measures for epilepsy? Seeing that other people's child is only 5 years old and has epilepsy, and during recurrence, it's like being shocked, rolling back the whites of the eyes, losing consciousness, foaming at the mouth, afraid that my own child will also have a recurrence. What kind of help is needed: What are the preventive measures for epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Methods for preventing epilepsy:Method 1: For patients with epilepsy caused by hereditary diseases, prenatal diagnosis should be implemented to identify the recurrence of certain hereditary diseases. If the fetus is found to be at risk of developing epilepsy, induced abortion can be performed, thereby reducing the likelihood of epilepsy recurrence in this group.
Method 2: To prevent epilepsy caused by brain damage during birth, if the delivery process is anticipated to be difficult, timely cesarean delivery should be performed. This can prevent the infant from suffering from epilepsy later in life due to drowning or breathing difficulties.
