Patient's question:
Before I had epilepsy, I got pregnant several times but didn't carry any to term. Now I'm pregnant again, and this time I want to carry it to term.What kind of help I need: Can I have a child if my epilepsy doesn't recur much?
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, a young female with epilepsy, who has now experienced fewer seizures and is currently pregnant, should undergo a comprehensive health check-up and discontinue medication before attempting to conceive. If conditions permit, she can then try to get pregnant again. Since she is already pregnant, she should go to a specialized hospital for close monitoring and careful observation of the fetus.Advice: Regarding the issue of epilepsy patients getting divorced and conceiving, it is crucial to be extremely cautious. In principle, it is best for both partners to be epilepsy patients not to get divorced, as the likelihood of the next generation suffering from the disease is relatively high.
