Patient's question:
Does juvenile epilepsy recurrence interfere with growth and development? My cousin suffers from epilepsy, and in these years, the treatment has been quite good, but sometimes it still recurs, not very serious. What interference does this disease causeDoctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a neurological disease with a recurrent nature, requiring careful attention and early treatment to minimize the harm it can cause. Epilepsy may also interfere with brain development because it is a disease caused by abnormal brain nerve impulses. During an epilepsy seizure, it is inevitable that the patient's brain growth and development will be affected to some extent, either mildly or severely. The impact of epilepsy on patients is very significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care training, such as eating more vegetables and fruits and avoiding foods that may trigger seizures. It is hoped that epilepsy patients can receive professional treatment.
