Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: When the child was around two or three years old, they frequently experienced stomach pain. They underwent an infrared examination at the hospital, which was diagnosed as intestinal cramps, and were advised to pay attention to their diet.Duration and onset of the current illness: In the past two weeks, the pain has been frequent and can occur at any time. I particularly notice it after meals. Today, when I went to the hospital, the doctor mentioned that intestinal wall epilepsy cannot be ruled out and suggested seeking further examination at a children's hospital. What is intestinal wall epilepsy, and how is it treated?
Doctor's answer:
The premise of treatment is to conduct systematic, comprehensive, and targeted examinations. For epilepsy with a clear etiology, in addition to effectively controlling seizures, it is essential to actively treat the underlying disease (i.e., the trigger). As long as these measures are taken, a curative treatment effect can be achieved.Additionally, although epilepsy is a chronic central nervous system disease and has long been considered incurable, with advancements in medical technology and innovations in diagnostic methods, once the location of the neuronal center responsible for abnormal discharges is identified, targeted therapy can be implemented to achieve a curative outcome.
Wishing you a speedy recovery!
