Question
Why can’t post-facial palsy spasm be treated with surgery?
Answer
Western medicine is the primary treatment for post-facial palsy spasm, focusing on early disease control and stabilization of the facial nerve and blood circulation. However, not all patients are suitable for this treatment due to potential side effects. If side effects occur, treatment should be stopped immediately and alternative options sought, such as integrated traditional Chinese medicine therapy. For severe post-facial spasm sequelae, surgery may be the last resort. However, surgery is not always necessary, and sometimes minimally invasive surgery can improve nerve conduction and facial muscle circulation. Another approach is to let the patient wait, as in most cases, recovery can occur gradually. However, not all patients are suitable for this method.
