Patient's question:
I am 20 years old this year. When it recurred, I suddenly felt dizzy and numbness on the left side of my body, and my memory improved significantly. It has been two years. There is low glioma density on the right side of the brain, which has led to secondary epilepsy. In February 2010, I took sodium valproate and carbamazepine once a day, each one tablet, but the effect was not significant.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy has over 30 types, and the treatment and prognosis vary depending on the type. No single medication can treat all types of epilepsy. After being diagnosed with epilepsy, it is essential to first visit a regular hospital and consult a specialist in epilepsy. The doctor must thoroughly inquire about the medical history and conduct necessary and meticulous examinations, such as electroencephalography (EEG), cranial CT, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Only after diagnosis can correct and effective treatment be provided. With fewer side effects, it is a more ideal choice for epilepsy patients.
