Patient's question:
My sister suffers from epilepsy. During a seizure, she loses consciousness, foams at the mouth, and has no memory of what happened afterward when she wakes up. I really hope my sister's epilepsy can be cured, but I don't understand this method. Could you please tell me what treatment methods are available for epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a relatively common neurological disorder. Your sister's condition involves a grand mal seizure. The majority of treatment methods involve oral antiepileptic drug therapy, but it requires long-term adherence to medication, which cannot achieve a complete cure. However, surgical treatment is suitable for only a very small number of patients. It is recommended to visit a regular hospital for examination to determine if surgical treatment is appropriate. If it is suitable, surgical treatment should be chosen, as this can achieve the goal of clinical diagnosis and cure.
