Patient's question:
My brother has epilepsy and is 21 years old this year. My uncle said to take my brother to a good hospital to see, and now he is still looking, not knowing if epilepsy can be cured with surgery?Doctor's answer:
1. Women should pay attention to prenatal health care. After becoming pregnant, do not take medication blindly. If suffering from epilepsy, medication must be used cautiously under the guidance of a doctor. Avoid excessive exposure to radiation, as various types of radiation (including X-rays, gamma rays, and radiation emitted by household appliances, televisions, and computers) can potentially lead to congenital growth and development defects in the fetus. Additionally, prevent various viral and bacterial infections during pregnancy, and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. If ultrasound examinations reveal significant abnormalities in fetal development, terminate early pregnancy in a timely manner. If the umbilical cord is found to be wrapped around the neck of the fetus, undergo a cesarean section promptly. During labor, minimize the risk of the fetus inhaling water, experiencing breathing difficulties, or suffering from birth injuries. Avoid using forceps and vacuum extractors as much as possible.
