During seizures, people will lose control, loss of consciousness, twitching to the ground, closed teeth, foaming in the mouth, and even incontinence of urination.

Because the symptoms were severe during the seizure, most people felt that epilepsy was terrible, which caused prejudice and discrimination against patients, thinking that they were not normal people.

June 28th is the 16th International Epilepsy Day. The theme is "Improving compliance, you have you more." Henan Provincial People's Hospital has recently carried out international epilepsy and love Japanese clinics. Relevant experts explain the main methods and related science popularization knowledge of epilepsy on the spot to help patients with epilepsy regain a healthy life.

Not spiritual and intellectual issues

Epilepsy is a neurological disease

Epilepsy is a recorded disease that has been recorded as early as the Yellow Emperor's Canon. About 50 million patients in the world, of which over 9 million are in China, and nearly 400,000 people are added each year.

The clinical manifestations of epilepsy are complicated and diverse, which can be manifested as seizure, sensory, autonomous nerves, consciousness and mental disorders. Under normal circumstances, patients with epilepsy are like normal people. Once epilepsy is seizures, you will be caught off guard, but the symptoms will suddenly disappear after a few minutes.

As a chronic disease, epilepsy is caused by many factors. In life, many people often mistakenly draw epilepsy and mental problems, which causes prejudice. It is believed that patients have intellectual problems, causing a double blow to patients.

In this regard, Han Xiong, director of epilepsy and seizures of Henan Provincial People's Hospital of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, said that the number of patients in neurological diseases is second only to a major disease of cerebrovascular disease. "Listing", can be precautible or cured. Even if you have epilepsy unfortunately, you may be cured by actively receiving regular treatment, working and living like a normal person.

However, Han Xiong reminded that many patients with epilepsy are unwilling to say their own diseases. The psychological pressure after illness and the shadow of social discrimination have caused many patients to have psychological diseases, such as depression, anxiety, inferiority, loneliness and pessimism Essence Studies have shown that about 1/3 of patients with epilepsy have symptoms of depression. The suicide idea and suicide behavior of patients with depression have increased significantly, which is 10 times that of ordinary people.

Improving treatment compliance

Consider surgical treatment can be considered

Han Xiong reminded that the pressure of society and themselves has made many patients with epilepsy go astray, deceiving people to make great ways, and delay treatment is common. In severe cases, they are even life -threatening. At present, there are three main treatment methods for epilepsy: medicine, surgery and ketone. For patients with epilepsy to avoid stepping on thunder, remember these three sentences: regular hospitals, refusing to buy medicines and refuse "drugs" with unknown components.

Han Xiong said that in terms of drugs, there are as many as 20 special antiepileptic drugs approved by the state, but the patient's condition is different, and the medication will be different. Doctors will treat symptomatic treatment according to the condition. Through regularly and adhere to it for a long time, most patients can control symptoms and return to normal life.

Liang Qinghua, the director of the functional neurosurgery of the Mely -Ceremony Hospital of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, introduced that epilepsy therapy is mainly the treatment of seizures and nerve regulation. There is a lesion in the brain, the drug has no effect, and the surgical resection is abnormal discharge stove, and it can be treated with antiepileptic drugs to get free life and work. Virgin nerve stimulation and brain pacemaker regulating brain discharge can reduce seizures and depression and improve the quality of life.

However, Xing Yaia, deputy chief physician of the functional neurosurgery of the Henan Provincial People's Hospital of Henan Province, reminded that after the treatment of seizures and neurophayral regulation, patients with epilepsy still need to maintain healthy living habits, improve compliance, and follow the doctor's advice to conduct instruction Standardize treatment, follow -up and regular program control.

Henan Provincial People's Hospital Cerebral Vascular Hospital Epilepsy Specialist Yu Xiaojie, the caregiver, reminded that patients with drugs can be used to adjust the recipes to increase the ketone body in the body. Many children's epilepsy no longer occur.

Will epilepsy be inherited?

Patients with primary epilepsy should pay attention to

Due to the largest proportion of children in patients with epilepsy, many people are worried that epilepsy will be inherited.

Experts remind that epilepsy caused by genetic factors is very low in all epilepsy, and most of the patients are distributed cases. Some patients discovered the cause through the headic MRI, which were called secondary epilepsy; some patients' magnetic resonance examination results were normal and could not find structural causes, called primary epilepsy or hidden source epilepsy. Studies have found that among patients with primary epilepsy, the prevalence of epilepsy is 3%to 4%, while the prevalence of secondary epilepsy is lower than 1%, indicating that the genetic impact of primary epilepsy has a great impact. Fortunately, primary epilepsy does not account for a large proportion of epilepsy patients, not more than 5%.

Experts remind that both parents have epilepsy or a child has had epilepsy, and the incidence of epilepsy in the third generation increases to 20%. Therefore, although patients with primary epilepsy can get married, they should restrict fertility. When choosing a spouse, patients with epilepsy should not be paying attention to marrying people who have epilepsy or a high -heat septic history, and should not marry people who are close to blood.
