Treatment of epilepsy

  For those with clear lesions that can be treated by surgery, surgery can be applied. For patients with no local lesions, most of them are treated with drugs. The principle of drug treatment is from small to large doses, and the specific situation needs to be analyzed. The first choice is to use the drugs alone, and then to consider the combination of drugs. The drug concentration should be measured regularly. It should also be combined with auxiliary tests such as EEG. It is also important to communicate with the doctor regularly. Patients are usually not sure how to treat themselves and should go to the hospital under the guidance of a doctor. In general, if it is secondary epilepsy, we first use surgery to remove the lesion and then most patients will have good results. For primary epilepsy, we first use medication systematically for 2 years and then consider surgery if the medication control is not satisfactory.  The diagnosis of epilepsy must be made in a regular hospital with a variety of diagnostic equipment and follow the doctor’s advice so that the correct diagnosis of epilepsy can be made.
