Patient's question:
My wife had a seizure surgery at the hospital a week ago. Now she can eat food again. I want to make some food that she is good at eating, so I would like to ask for some advice. What should be paid attention to in diet after a seizure surgery?Doctor's answer:
The patient should not overeat, as overeating can trigger a rise in blood sugar, which may easily lead to a recurrence of epilepsy. However, the patient should also not go hungry. Hunger can cause blood sugar to deplete, and hypoglycemia is an important factor that can lead to epilepsy. Excessive drinking is also a contributing factor, although normal water intake generally does not cause a recurrence of epilepsy. The food should not be too salty, as excessive salt intake and water consumption can also trigger a recurrence of epilepsy. The daily treatment for epilepsy patients primarily focuses on symptomatic treatment. The patient can take various oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to regular routines, avoiding alcohol. We hope that epilepsy patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
