Patient's question:
Grandpa developed epilepsy after a brain hemorrhage. My father inherited grandpa's epilepsy through generational transmission. Epilepsy relapses can be truly terrifying. How is epilepsy treated? Can epilepsy be cured? What can be done to ensure that epilepsy does not relapse again?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, it appears that epilepsy symptoms need to be identified promptly and as early as possible. Early detection and early treatment are recommended. Patients should first undergo head imaging tests to clarify the symptoms. After the symptoms are confirmed, treatment methods should be decided based on the doctor's advice. Treatment should be symptomatic and based on the cause. Epilepsy cannot be completely cured and requires long-term medication adherence, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and reducing the frequency of attacks.
