How is epilepsy caused

summary

From the beginning of last month, I found that my son had some problems. Sometimes he had convulsions, sometimes he turned his eyes up and didn't take it seriously. But this time, it became more and more obvious. I went to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that my son had epilepsy. Today, let me talk about the cause of epilepsy, which everyone is very concerned about.

How is epilepsy caused

Reason 1: the incidence of epilepsy after craniocerebral trauma is higher, the longer the coma time is, the more serious the brain parenchyma damage is, the higher the incidence is. For example, acute intracranial hematoma compression, brain parenchymal damage after edema caused by intracranial pressure, can cause adult epilepsy.

The second reason: with the development of society and the change of health symptoms, adult epilepsy caused by brain parasitic disease has been reduced. The disease is mainly prevalent in North China, Northeast China and Yunnan. By eating food or water contaminated by eggs, the eggs enter the body and parasitize in the high cerebral cortex with blood circulation, resulting in adult epilepsy.

Reason 3: drinking is also the cause of adult epilepsy, because long-term high-dose drinking can produce gastritis, pancreatitis, liver injury, arrhythmia, abnormal hematopoietic function and immune function, cause brain atrophy, lead to adult epilepsy, and even lead to low attention, memory loss, and dementia.

matters needing attention

Patients with epilepsy should try to use less excitatory drinks. Therefore, caffeine in this kind of beverage can make brain cells excited, abnormal discharge, make seizures. Should avoid alcohol, drinking can make nervous system highly excited, and reduce the threshold of epileptic focus, easy to induce seizures.
