Best Hospital for  Epilepsy Treatment in Hyderabad, India

Epilepsy is the name for a group of disorders of the brain characterized by a tendency to recurrent ‘seizures’ or ‘fits’ that affects approximately 1% of the general population. Seizures can lead to loss of awareness or consciousness, disturbances of movement, sensation (including vision, hearing and taste), autonomic function, mood and mental function. Seizures may occur at any stage of life, affecting people of all ages. With a correct treatment approach, most patients with epilepsy can enjoy life as much as any healthy person can. They can lead full, productive lives, continue their studies, go out to work or meet people, even pursue any personal interests.

FAQ’s

Can epilepsy be cured completely?

Epilepsy can be treated effectively with anti-epileptic medicines. Just like chronic diseases like hypertension, diabetes mellitus and asthma, epilepsy is totally controllable in the majority of the cases.

What is the risk of recurrence of seizure after stopping anti-epileptic treatment?

Many factors influence the risk of relapse of seizure after withdrawal of medications. The remission of epileptic episodes is more in cases with brain tissue damage. It has been observed that the maximum risk of seizures recurrence is within three months of the drug withdrawal. If the patient has no fits for 4 to 5 years after the drug withdrawal, then his/her chance of having recurrence of seizure is very less.

Can seizures cause brain damage?

Single brief episode of fit or seizure may not cause brain tissue damage but prolonged and recurrent attacks may definitely lead to brain tissue damage. Hence it is extremely crucial to consult an expert immediately for prompt management.

Can epilepsy attack affect the memory of the person?

Single episode of an epileptic attack may not cause any loss of memory. But, a temporary loss of consciousness and sense of disorientation is commonly seen.

When should I visit a specialist for epilepsy?

It is highly recommended for an individual to visit a specialist if one experiences new, atypical, or more frequent episodes of seizures. Our specialists at Yashoda Hospitals have successfully treated complex cases of epilepsy and have achieved proven success rates.
