Patient's question:
Help with epilepsy from Traditional Chinese Medicine? I've had the illness for a long time, and sometimes when walking, my body suddenly stiffens, my face turns pale, and I lose consciousness. When I wake up, the doctor says my condition is already severe and that surgery is needed to save me. Can you do surgery?Doctor's answer:
The indications for epilepsy surgery are clinically divided into two categories: one is the presence of a clear structural cause of epilepsy in the brain, such as tumor-induced epilepsy; some patients have developmental abnormalities, with a clear cause of epilepsy in the brain, and drug treatment is sufficient without active surgical intervention. The other two categories of patients are those who still do not respond well to regular drug treatment. These two types of patients are more suitable for surgical treatment.
