Patient's question:
What is the most advanced hospital for treating epilepsy? My son is only 7 years old, yet he has been diagnosed with epilepsy. I took him to the hospital for examination and only then did I learn that he had had it before. I vaguely remember that the first time he had a recurrence, he was playing with toys and suddenly started crying uncontrollably for a long time. Later, he suddenly seemed fine and focused on playing again. Occasionally, when he has a recurrence, he will experience another episode of convulsive epilepsy. Can it be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
A seizure is caused by abnormal pulses from damaged brain neuron cells. Early identification of the root cause allows for targeted treatment, which can lead to a cure. It is recommended to seek diagnosis at a formal hospital early to prevent missing the best treatment window, which may lead to further deterioration of the condition. Treatment plans can vary widely, including medications, surgery, or laser therapy, with minimally invasive surgery being one option. Patients should decide on treatment at formal and specialized hospitals, undergo thorough examinations to locate the focus of the disease and identify the specific condition, and then receive targeted treatment.
