Epilepsy in children is a genetic and postnatal development effect. Parents of epilepsy in children should always be vigilant. So, what should children epilepsy do? And how to prevent it?
What to do with epilepsy in children
We must stop the recurrence of epilepsy symptoms. It mainly refers to avoiding the induced factors of epilepsy and comprehensive treatment for children with epilepsy, so as to control the recurrence of epilepsy.
We must try our best to reduce the physical, psychological and social adverse effects of epilepsy patients. In fact, epilepsy is a chronic disease, which can be prolonged for several years or even decades. Therefore, it can cause serious adverse effects on the physical, mental and socio-economic status of patients. Generally, based on a large number of clinical experience over the years, if we want to reduce the physical and mental pressure of epileptic patients, we must put the prevention of social sequelae of epilepsy in the same position as the prevention of the disease itself. The sequelae of epilepsy is not only the patient's body but also the whole society, which requires all sectors of society to give understanding and support to epileptic patients, so as to minimize the social pressure of epileptic patients Pressure.
We must start from the cause of epilepsy prevention. To cure and prevent epilepsy. The genetic gene is that some children with convulsion are prone to epilepsy, which is caused by various environmental factors. It is necessary to emphasize the importance of genetic counseling. We should carry out a systematic family investigation in detail to find out whether the patients' parents, compatriots and close relatives have epileptic seizures and their characteristics, whether they have a history of febrile convulsions, roughly estimate the possible incidence of their compatriots, offspring and other relatives, pay attention to marriage and childbearing, avoid the occurrence of epileptic children, and improve the population Quality.
How to prevent epilepsy in children
The etiology and pathogenesis of epilepsy are complex, and prevention is difficult. At the same time, about 70% of epilepsy patients have unknown etiology, which makes prevention impossible. But quite a part of symptomatic epilepsy, although the cause is clear, prevention is also difficult, such as brain tumor, arteriovenous malformation and so on. At the same time, epilepsy is the result of multiple factors, at least including convulsion threshold (related to genetic factors), neuropathy and inducing factors, which also increases the difficulty of prevention. But this does not mean that there is nothing that can be done to prevent epilepsy.
From the point of view of etiology, some epilepsy, such as improper nursing during childbirth, intracranial infection, infectious diseases of newborn and young children, infant dehydration, uncontrolled febrile convulsion and head injury, can be prevented by corresponding measures. Timely and reasonable treatment of epilepsy patients can prevent intractable epilepsy and a series of physical and social psychological disorders, which is also of great significance to patients. Some epilepsy with obvious inducing factors can be prevented by carefully finding and avoiding the inducing factors, that is, the prevention of epilepsy.
