What is epilepsy

When it comes to epilepsy, some friends may not know much about it, but when it comes to another name for epilepsy - epilepsy, everyone is familiar with it. Epilepsy is a brain neurological disease. Medically, epilepsy is defined as a chronic, recurrent syndrome of transient cerebral dysfunction. It is characterized by recurrent epileptic seizures caused by abnormal discharges of brain neurons. There are many causes of epilepsy, some are congenital, some are acquired, and some are caused by accidental injuries to the mother during childbirth.

According to statistics, there are more male than female epilepsy patients in my country. From the perspective of age distribution, the largest number of patients are under one year old, and the incidence rate tends to decrease with increasing age. Epilepsy is a relatively difficult disease to treat. Currently, it is mainly treated with drugs and surgery. Drug treatment generally uses a single drug. When a drug is ineffective for a patient, it is switched to another drug for treatment. It is rare to use multiple drugs at the same time.

Another common method of treating epilepsy is surgery. There are many symptoms of epilepsy. The most common one is that the patient has whole body convulsions, accompanied by loss of consciousness, foaming at the mouth and other symptoms. For some patients, the attack lasts more than thirty minutes, while for others, there are no signs at all. Epilepsy is a relatively stubborn disease that causes physical and mental suffering to patients and their families. We should give them more care and tolerance. As an epilepsy patient, you must have the courage and determination to defeat the disease. You must take medications for a long time and never stop taking them at will.

While actively carrying out drug treatment, it is extremely important to carry out good prevention and care. Try to achieve early detection and early treatment, so that damage to the brain can be minimized, the treatment effect will be more ideal, and the probability of disease recurrence will be reduced. In addition, you can add some Gastrodia elata to your daily diet, which can greatly promote the treatment of epilepsy.
