Patient's question:
I have always had a bit of epilepsy, and when it attacks, I often feel powerless to control myself. Especially in autumn, I feel that my condition seems to worsen, and the attacks become more frequent. I want to know what effects autumn has on women with epilepsy? Will it be more severe?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from epilepsy requires persistently taking oral antiepileptic drugs to control recurrence. The duration of oral medication treatment is typically 2-3 years. Weather has no significant impact on the recurrence of epilepsy, but overexertion, staying up late, playing games, and other factors can trigger epilepsy. Additionally, drinking coffee, cola, alcohol, spicy and irritating foods, certain medications (such as fluoroquinolone drugs), and others can also trigger epilepsy. Regulating physical and mental health, maintaining personal hygiene, and avoiding bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity are important.
