Patient's question:
I'm already in my early 50s this year, but I have been suffering from epilepsy for over ten years. During this time, I have tried various methods of treatment, but none have been effective. It still frequently recurs now. Here, I would like to greet the experts. How should refractory epilepsy be treated?Doctor's answer:
The main treatment for epilepsy patients is medication, which is based on long-term, continuous, and regular medication. Do not stop taking the medication arbitrarily or interrupt it yourself or adjust it without authorization. If medication adjustment is necessary, it must be considered after consultation with a specialist doctor, taking into account the previous medication regimen. Do not stop medication hastily to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to the patient's emotions, provide psychological comfort and encouragement, and avoid causing excessive fatigue or stimulating factors that may lead to recurrence.
