Patient's question:
My best friend has epilepsy, and each time it flares up, she suffers immensely. During the episodes, her whole body convulses, and she foams at the mouth. It has been several years, and she has always been cautious, fearing a recurrence. I don't know how this condition came about. What assistance would she need: What causes epilepsy attacks?Doctor's answer:
There are many factors that can trigger epilepsy attacks. In adults, common causes include cranial trauma and intracranial infections. Due to various external factors that may cause head injuries, epilepsy can be triggered. Therefore, intracranial infections should be diagnosed early, and medication should be administered in a long-term, regular manner. Active treatment can reduce the risk of recurrence of sequelae and complications. It is recommended that patients adhere to treatment, practice daily care, and develop healthy lifestyle habits.
