Idiopathic epilepsy

Epilepsy, also known as epilepsy, is a very common brain disease. Epilepsy can be primary or secondary. The occurrence of epilepsy will have a great impact on the patient's psychology and health. Moreover, this disease may occur at any time, causing convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and very painful. Primary epilepsy is also very common. For this disease, patients should actively seek treatment.

Among the types of epilepsy, the incidence of primary epilepsy is very high, and the disease affects a wide range of people, especially adolescents and adults. The cause of primary epilepsy is generally not very clear. Let us learn more about this disease through the following introduction.

1. Primary epilepsy refers to epilepsy without manifestations of organic or metabolic brain diseases, and the cause of the disease cannot be discovered using current examination methods.

2. Primary epilepsy is also called true epilepsy or idiopathic epilepsy. Some scholars believe that most patients with primary epilepsy have a certain relationship with genetics, so this type of epilepsy is also called hereditary or familial epilepsy. Therefore, patients with this type of epilepsy need to pay attention to many aspects when getting married and having children, and should also adhere to treatment and prevention in normal times. Some patients often stop having seizures on their own after puberty.

3. There is no age limit for the onset of primary epilepsy, but most of them occur in childhood and adolescence, and the forms of seizures are limited to grand mal seizures and typical petit mal seizures. Primary epilepsy starts with a minor seizure, which stops around puberty or turns into a major seizure, or alternates between minor and major seizures.

Among the questions that patients have about idiopathic epilepsy, how idiopathic epilepsy is caused is an extremely common and important question. Usually, many patients simply believe that primary epilepsy is caused by genetic factors. Experts point out that this view is actually one-sided. From a comprehensive perspective, the causes of primary epilepsy mainly include: 1. Abnormal development of certain nerve cells in the patient's brain, an imbalance of electrolytes inside and outside these nerve cells, causing abnormal discharges of neurons in the patient's brain, and ultimately inducing primary epileptic seizures. Second, the patient has inherited the epilepsy-causing gene from his parents, and this type of gene is susceptible. When the patient is exposed to certain slight stimulations, epilepsy will occur. 3. There is a problem with the human body's immune function, which leads to problems with the patient's brain nervous system, abnormal discharges, and causes the onset of primary epilepsy.

Regarding primary epilepsy, patients should have a good attitude. It is important to receive timely treatment. At the same time, they should not be too self-deprecating and should have an optimistic attitude. They should also pay attention to many issues in their daily diet and get more rest. If they can take timely treatment measures when an epileptic seizure occurs, the patient will not be greatly harmed. I hope that patients can live an optimistic life.
