Patient's question:
Sunzi has had epilepsy for three years, and he has a seizure every six months. We have taken him to a large hospital for treatment, but the results haven't been very good. He has been taking medication without interruption, which is quite a headache.Doctor's answer:
The causes of epilepsy are numerous, including focal brain lesions or diffuse brain abnormalities, systemic metabolic poisoning, and some cases with unknown origins. Epilepsy, commonly known as "" () in colloquial terms, is a chronic disease characterized by sudden, abnormal discharges of brain neurons, leading to temporary dysfunction of the brain. Depending on the patient's condition, targeted repair therapy can be employed to repair damaged neurons, restore the function of brain neurons, balance abnormal discharges, and ultimately eliminate epilepsy seizures. Oral medications are used to control clinical symptoms.
