Patient's question:
Doctor, my friend is 35 years old this year. A few days ago, I received a message saying he was hospitalized. I went to visit him and learned that he had epilepsy. I was very puzzled, wondering how a perfectly healthy person could suddenly get sick. Hello doctor, what is epilepsy, and can it be self-healed?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a functional disorder caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. It is often associated with diseases such as encephalitis, meningitis, brain trauma, cerebral hemorrhage, and cerebral infarction. Currently, there is no effective treatment that can cure epilepsy. The current treatment focuses on controlling the recurrence of epilepsy and reducing the secondary harm caused by its recurrence. It is important to pay attention to preventing colds, avoiding exposure to cold as much as possible, and preventing fever from triggering epilepsy recurrence.
