How is epilepsy treated if it is caused by neurocysticercosis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, when I went to the hospital for a full-body check-up, I found that there were brain cysts in my body. I have also been experiencing epilepsy symptoms for a long time, and I suspect that the epilepsy is caused by the brain cysts. I don't know if surgery is necessary. What if the epilepsy is caused by the brain cysts?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it is recommended that you should go to the hospital for a detailed and thorough examination to diagnose the cause before you can receive targeted treatment. In daily life, you should pay attention to getting more rest and avoid overexertion or staying up late. Establish a regular schedule for your daily routine, eat a light diet with fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Ensure sufficient deep sleep and avoid staying up late or overexerting yourself. It is suggested that minimally invasive surgery can be performed to significantly alleviate epilepsy symptoms.
