Patient's question:
My father is 50 years old this year. Since last year, my father has been prone to fainting, sometimes even foaming at the mouth. The doctor said my father suffers from epilepsy. Hello, what are the treatment methods for epilepsy? With the current level of medical technology, can epilepsy be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Currently, based on the symptoms you described, this epilepsy is characterized by generalized tonic-clonic seizures. It is recommended to visit the neurology outpatient department for a detailed and thorough examination, including a head MRI and an electroencephalogram (EEG), to help determine the type of epilepsy and explore additional underlying causes. Some individuals may achieve cure through surgery, while others may require long-term adjustments and oral antiepileptic drugs to control the symptoms.
