Answer

Hello! Epilepsy can be hereditary, but not always, and it is related to the cause and gender. Female epilepsy patients are more common than male epilepsy patients, and primary epilepsy is more common than secondary epilepsy. Generally speaking, only 5% of children of epilepsy patients develop epilepsy, so epilepsy patients can still have children. However, from a genetic perspective, it is best for epilepsy patients to avoid marrying individuals with a low seizure threshold (including other epilepsy patients and those with a history of high fever seizures) and to wait until their condition is stable and well-controlled before considering pregnancy. Additionally, the impact on the fetus mainly comes from the mother, while fathers with epilepsy generally do not pass on the condition genetically. Treatment with advanced osmotic activation therapy has shown very good results, utilizing high-resolution dynamic EEG to identify the focus of epilepsy. Through computer navigation, it accurately locates and penetrates into the neuron cell bodies, promoting neural metabolism, activating damaged neuron cells, and restoring function until recovery. This balances abnormal discharges, restores normal intracellular and extracellular potential differences in neuron cell membranes, unblocks ion channels on cell membranes, and restores various functions within the brain. This approach can completely prevent recurrence of epilepsy and achieve clinical remission. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Here are some precautions to take: 1. Actively cooperate with treatment and take medication regularly and as prescribed. 2. Avoid eating large amounts of meat, dog meat, mule meat, chili peppers, try to quit smoking, and never drink alcohol. 3. Avoid watching exciting, sad, or stimulating (irritating) television programs, excessive computer use, playing video games, or using mobile phones for long periods. 4. Do not attend large fireworks shows to avoid being startled and triggering a recurrence of the condition. 5. Prevent colds, high fevers, fatigue, hunger, overeating or undereating, excessive sexual activity, maintain an optimistic mood, build self-confidence, and conquer illness. 6. When possible, consume more poultry eggs, animal liver, brain, kidneys, seafood products, milk, dairy products, soy products, vegetables, and fruits.
