Question

Can epilepsy patients have children, and how can epilepsy be prevented during pregnancy?

Answer

Although epilepsy has a genetic component, the genetic probability is relatively low, and it is often caused by acquired factors. Patients can have children normally under the guidance of a doctor and take appropriate measures to prevent epilepsy attacks during pregnancy. Treatment methods are diverse, including medication, surgical treatment, and physical therapy. The key is to find an effective treatment plan that suits you and follow medical instructions, not to discontinue or reduce medication on your own. Maintain an optimistic attitude, avoid fatigue and irritants, ensure adequate sleep, and pay attention to a healthy diet. These measures can help control the condition.
