Patient's question:
When my son was born, I felt something was strange about him, and the doctor noticed it too. So, he arranged for a detailed physical examination for my son. To my surprise, he was diagnosed with epilepsy. The doctor told me to take him to a professional and large hospital for treatment, saying they didn't have the equipment to treat it here. Where is it generally treated well for epilepsy in Hainan?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a group of syndromes characterized by abnormal, highly synchronized discharges in the brain caused by known or unknown etiologies, and often exhibiting self-limiting properties. Epilepsy is characterized by recurrent, paroxysmal, transient, and typically stereotyped dysfunction of the central nervous system. The classification of epilepsy is primarily based on clinical manifestations of seizures and changes in electroencephalogram (EEG). Partial seizures occur in a specific region of the brain; simple partial seizures do not cause changes in consciousness, while complex partial seizures do. Seizures affecting both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously are termed generalized seizures. Seizure types that cannot be classified due to insufficient or incomplete data are referred to as unclassified seizures.The widely accepted definition of refractory epilepsy is "epilepsy that cannot be effectively controlled with standard medical treatment."
Advice: For epilepsy treatment, it is recommended to seek professional epilepsy hospitals or doctors with specialized expertise. Most epilepsy patients require lifelong medication, whether Western or Chinese medicine, as it only controls symptoms rather than cures the condition and may lead to long-term side effects and drug resistance. Epilepsy is a clinical syndrome characterized by recurrent abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to dysfunction and resulting in seizures. The key to epilepsy treatment lies in selecting the appropriate therapy, which must address the underlying mechanisms of the condition. Epilepsy seizures are caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons, which occur due to damaged neurons. Treatment must target the root cause of epilepsy by leveraging the synergistic action of the "four major genes" to regulate the life activities of brain cells, restore high-level neural functions, rapidly block abnormal discharges of brain neurons, promote the regeneration of new cells, repair damaged neurons, balance abnormal discharges, and ultimately achieve clinical cure.
