Patient's question:
I recently feel that my face is very stiff. My facial muscles can't smile, and I can't move them freely. Hello doctor, if after 1.5 years of meningioma surgery, my eyes can't close, and I have facial paralysis. Now, my training is also greatly troubled. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is considered a normal complication of the meningioma surgery that the trigeminal nerve may be injured during the procedure, which sometimes cannot be prevented. Once facial paralysis reoccurs, it is recommended to use B vitamins to nourish the facial nerve, or traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, infrared light therapy, physical therapy, and other symptomatic treatments to stabilize the therapeutic effect. Additionally, it is advised to actively engage in sports, consume fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid colds as much as possible to effectively prevent viral infections.
