Question
A family member of the patient has epilepsy, and they are worried whether the disease will be inherited by the next generation.
Answer
Epilepsy has a genetic possibility, but the specific probability is difficult to quantify. In a patient’s family with a history of epilepsy, it may indicate the presence of harmful genes. For future children, there is a risk of developing epilepsy again. To reduce the genetic risk, it is recommended to avoid head injuries after the child is born, maintain good emotional states, and try to avoid major emotional shocks. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you and wish you health.
