Patient's question:
My brother had a recurrence of epilepsy at the age of twenty due to another car accident involving his girlfriend. According to the doctors at the time, my brother had primary epilepsy, and they said this condition is quite stubborn to treat. Although he has been taking medication consistently, he still experiences occasional episodes. I heard that surgery can be a treatment for this condition, so I wanted to consult about the possibility of surgical treatment for my brother's epilepsy.Doctor's answer:
It can be said with certainty that some forms of epilepsy can be effectively treated with surgery, but this treatment method is not suitable for everyone. It is highly targeted and depends on the patient's physical condition, the severity of the illness, and the underlying cause. Therefore, do not make hasty decisions to undergo surgery for epilepsy treatment.For patients, if the condition of primary epilepsy is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of primary epilepsy. In addition, patients should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions will be helpful to everyone. Thank you.
