    It depends on the cause of epilepsy. I don't know if you've been to the hospital. I've filmed ** no.

    Make an expensive MRI image. Electroencephalogram. All of these can help you decide whether to have surgery or take medication.

    If there is a significant lesion in the **. That would be operational. However, after surgery, there is not necessarily a guarantee that it will not be able to alleviate the seizures, if a person has dozens of seizures a day.

    That would have to be surgical. Go to the hospital for consultation if there is no obvious lesion. The surgeon doesn't know if it's not from the **.

    Be conservative with your medicine. But I always feel so uncomfortable. Because no one wants to take medicine for the rest of their lives.

    Cherish your body and don't drink too much. Recently, I have seen too many reports of epilepsy on online buses. I feel bad because I'm afraid that I'll be next.

    Hold on. Don't let him have a seizure yet. A single seizure can damage the brain once.

    I know that. I wish you good health. Sometimes there are no real answers available online.

    It's better to go to the hospital.

Whether it is surgery or medication, epilepsy requires patients to have active cooperation with doctors in order to make doctors have a better chance of epilepsy.

    Epilepsy accounts for 7% of the population in China, and epilepsy patients are generally controlled by drugs all year round. If you can't go to a crowded place, you can engage in some intimate physical work to avoid being too tired and too nervous, which will cause seizures; For patients with epilepsy, pay more attention to the daily routine and diet.

    Epilepsy should be condition-specific**.

    Surgery**: The surgical method is to remove the brain tissue in the patient's body that induces epilepsy and remove its epileptogenic area, which effectively avoids the seizure of epilepsy.

    However, the successful operation must accurately determine the pathogenic area, and the operation must be carried out in a regular professional hospital to prevent unnecessary damage to the patient caused by improper surgery.

    Drug**: It is the main method of epilepsy, and its ** principle is early medication, sufficient dose, accurate medication and long time.

    Epilepsy Consultation**: 400-0015-126

    After epilepsy surgery, you need to take medication, generally for 1-2 years, if you take the medication for a period of time without seizures, and the EEG examination has been normal, you can consider reducing the drug or even stopping the drug.

    Taking medication after surgery, although the lesion is removed by surgery, there may still be some subtle lesions of the nervous system associated with epilepsy, so it is necessary to continue taking medication to consolidate**.

    Therefore, after epilepsy surgery, it is necessary to continue taking medication according to the doctor's instructions, have regular check-ups, and do not stop the medication on its own because the epilepsy has not had a seizure, or change the drug and dose, and must be carried out under the guidance of a specialist.

    1. The basic principles of epilepsy when selecting drugs according to seizure type and syndrome classification, and individualization should also be carried out by considering comorbidities, co-medications, the age of the patient, and the meaning of the patient's guardian.

    2. If there are still seizures after rational use of first-line anti-epileptic drugs, the diagnosis of epilepsy needs to be strictly evaluated.

    3. Due to the differences in bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of different antiepileptic drug preparations, in order to avoid the reduction of efficacy and the increase of drug efficacy, patients should be recommended to use drugs produced by the same manufacturer.

    4. Monotherapy as much as possible**.

    5. If the first anti-epileptic drug failed due to adverse reactions or still having seizures, another drug should be tried, and the dose should be increased to a sufficient dose, and the first drug should be slowly reduced.

    6. If the second drug is still ineffective, the first and second drugs should be slowly reduced according to the relative efficacy, adverse reactions and drug tolerance before starting another drug.

    7. Combination drugs are recommended only when monotherapy is ineffective.

    8. If the combination of drugs does not make the patient achieve a good effect, the original patient should return to the original acceptable regimen to achieve the best balance between efficacy and adverse reaction tolerance.

    9. For children, women and other special populations, the characteristics of patients need to be considered, and the specific reference is "Drugs for Special Populations**".
