Patient's question:
The father's epilepsy has suddenly worsened without any known reason. Previously, the father had been taking antiepileptic medication every day to control the condition, and the seizures were rare, with the treatment being quite effective. Now, he experiences seizures every month. I want to know if surgery can repair epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Hello, whether surgical treatment for epilepsy is suitable depends on the patient's specific condition. If epilepsy patients use medication, it only helps to suppress the frequency of seizures to a certain extent. Surgical treatment, on the other hand, can restore the patient's condition to health, as this disease is caused by certain abnormalities in the brain. Through surgery, the location of the lesion can be repaired. Additionally, if the patient takes medication on time after the surgery, the condition can be completely cured.
