Patient's question:
At the age of, I contracted epilepsy, which has always been a great source of distress for my family and a deep pain for the patient. Although there have been valuable medications for treatment, it seems to be improving, but I still worry about its recurrence and dare not let the patient go alone. Can epilepsy completely heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
The patient, after a certain period of regular and systematic medication treatment without recurrence, can generally reduce the dosage until discontinuation. If no recurrence occurs within 3 years after stopping medication, it is believed that the patient has self-healed. Absolute smoking and alcohol cessation are necessary to prevent excitement, anger, or excessive fatigue. In addition to treating epilepsy, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
