Patient's question:
My brother has had epilepsy since last year. He has been treated for a long time, but it hasn't improved. A few days ago, he had surgery at the hospital. Recently, he has felt a bit better than before. The doctor also prescribed him a lot of medication. I really want to know if epilepsy can be controlled after surgery and medication.Doctor's answer:
The current situation is a recurrence of epilepsy after surgery, which is treatable and controllable in clinical diagnosis. This means that the harm to brain nerve function caused by surgery can lead to epilepsy, and it will have a persistent condition. In other words, epilepsy will repeatedly recur and require treatment, and may need a second surgery to implement control and correction. Medication can temporarily control and alleviate the condition.
