Patient's question:
My friend, a few days ago, had a sudden seizure while going to work with me. She fell to the ground, and her limbs convulsed. At the time, we called an ambulance to take her to the hospital in an emergency. The doctor said it was a seizure, but my friend is usually very healthy and has shown no abnormalities. How is this type of seizure formed? Can she recover in the future?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is generally divided into primary epilepsy and secondary epilepsy. At your friend's age, the recurrence is highly likely to be secondary epilepsy. Secondary epilepsy can be caused by factors such as head trauma, intracranial infection, intracranial tumors, or cerebrovascular diseases like stroke or cerebral hemorrhage. It is recommended that your friend seek medical attention as soon as possible to undergo relevant examinations to confirm the cause and determine the appropriate medication. Epilepsy may require long-term medication to reduce the recurrence of symptoms.
