Patient's question:
I recently started dating a boyfriend, but one time he suddenly started having twitches, and from then on, I learned that he actually has a family history of epilepsy. However, he told me that epilepsy can be cured, and he is actively undergoing treatment. I have some doubts and want to consult whether epilepsy can really be cured.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy itself does indeed have a certain possibility of being cured, but it may require the assistance of surgery or a medication period of more than two years. In this case, it is indeed possible, but sometimes, surgical treatment may not always accurately locate the focus. Moreover, if medication cannot completely treat it after two years, it will never achieve a curative condition again. Therefore, it is recommended to wait and see carefully and consider gamma knife surgery if necessary.
