Patient's question:
Recently, I had a thorough examination and found that my epilepsy is benign. However, I don't want to take medication because I always feel that taking medication, to some extent, can be harmful to the body. Doctor, I would like to understand whether benign epilepsy can be cured without medication? Is there a better treatment method?Doctor's answer:
The possibility of completely recovering from benign epilepsy without medication is not very high. Epilepsy is a stubborn brain neurological disease, and treatment is relatively difficult. Moreover, some patients may experience recurrence after treatment. Epilepsy patients should take medication to control their condition. If the medication is not effective, physical therapy or surgical treatment may be necessary at the hospital when needed.
