Patient's question:
Last week, the child ran home crying. Although this isn't the first time, my child has transferred schools several times already. After each seizure, she doesn't want to go to school. Other children always tease her. This isn't a solution. Will surgical treatment for epilepsy cause it to recur again?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the main treatment for epilepsy is drug-based therapy. Medications are prescribed to control the recurrence of seizures based on the different types of epilepsy. Surgical treatment for epilepsy is still not very mature, and not all types of epilepsy are suitable for surgical intervention. This requires patients to undergo neurological examinations and confirmations before the procedure can be performed. Currently, surgical treatment is not a cure for epilepsy, and some patients are prone to frequent episodes.
