Epilepsy is also a long-standing disease, and for a long time many people do not know how to get epilepsy, and because of this, there is a long-term lack of effective treatment. So, when they see the disease, many people back off and don’t want to treat it, etc. In fact, this is all a misconception. Only timely understanding of the causes of epilepsy can do a good job of prevention. So how is epilepsy caused? The most common cause of seizures is sudden onset, with no obvious trigger. However, there are some seizures that do have triggers. These triggers may occur periodically, for example, seizures may be related to endocrine factors or menstruation, while other triggers occur irregularly. The trigger can be a natural sensory stimulus from normal life, a stimulus that appears suddenly, or a stimulus induced by the child. Age Factors The main causes of epilepsy vary from age to age. Age, or the maturity of the brain, affects not only the propensity to have seizures but also the type of seizure. The etiology and age distribution characteristics of pediatric epilepsy are instructive for the diagnosis and prevention of epilepsy, and the issues of brain development, genetics, metabolism, and midwifery techniques in the perinatal, neonatal, and infantile periods must be given adequate attention. Genetic factors Refer to the genetic susceptibility to epilepsy. Numerous studies have demonstrated that epilepsy and genetic factors are related. Genetics can affect the function of cell membrane ion channels, lower the convulsion threshold, and cause neuronal discharges. Studies of twin-birth epilepsy compliance and, family EEG studies suggest that epileptic qualities are autosomal dominant and have the highest ectopic rate between the ages of 5 and 15 years. Epileptic syndromes that have been confirmed or presumed to be closely related to genetic factors, include childhood and juvenile aphasic epilepsy, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, benign epilepsy with central temporal spikes in children, autosomal dominant inheritance, nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy, and other primary generalized or localized epilepsy, some of which have been genetically localized.
