Patient's question:
My aunt was previously diagnosed with epilepsy. In the past, her seizures were always absence seizures, and she has been taking medication to treat epilepsy. However, recently, the frequency of her epilepsy seizures has increased. There have been many instances of sudden loss of consciousness, jaw clenching, and. We want to treat her properly. How should we treat it?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is caused by abnormal brain impulses, and clinical diagnosis and treatment can be quite challenging. If it is primary epilepsy, it can be controlled with medication to prevent seizures. For secondary epilepsy, the underlying disease must be treated to reduce the likelihood of triggers. In clinical diagnosis, methods such as laser therapy and medication can be used to alleviate and control symptoms. Treatment can be carried out in specialized hospitals, or patients can seek medical care from neurology departments.
