Patient's question:
The patient developed post-infectious sequelae after suffering from fever and encephalitis at the end of 1994. Up to now, they experience daily tics, bluish discoloration of the face and fingers, and occasional urinary incontinence. In the past, they took a combination of Chinese and Western medicine, but it had little effect.Doctor's answer:
Hello: Although treating epilepsy is relatively difficult and requires a long process, it is not incurable. Experts have found that as long as timely treatment is provided and the correct treatment method is determined, 80% of patients can still be completely controlled without recurrence and self-cure. Therefore, it is not an incurable disease. The reason is that for a long time, many patients have lacked systematic and standardized treatment for epilepsy, causing patients who could have self-cured to lose the opportunity, leading to repeated relapses and making patients lose confidence. This is why people have this wrong perception. Medications should not be stopped, and there are various treatment methods, which have made it more difficult for patients to recover early.
