Patient's question:
My daughter is 13 years old. On November 8th, she suddenly fainted at home and was a bit restless. The next morning, she fainted again with her hands clenched tightly. Later, at the hospital, brain CT and MRI scans showed no abnormalities, but an electroencephalogram revealed abnormalities. The doctor said it was epilepsy. Is there a way to treat it? What should I pay attention to in terms of diet? Does long-term medication have an impact on the body?Doctor's answer:
Hello, epilepsy is a chronic brain dysfunction caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. With active treatment, there is hope for a complete cure. Epilepsy is a chronic disease, and if not treated promptly and effectively, it can persist for years. Therefore, patients should actively cooperate with their doctors once diagnosed. Currently, there are several methods for treating epilepsy, but the key lies in whether they align with the pathogenesis of the condition. Epilepsy is a chronic brain dysfunction caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. It involves repairing and regenerating the abnormal brain nerves and brain cells, restoring their normal tissue function to prevent abnormal discharges, thereby achieving the goal of curing epilepsy.
