Patient's question:
Doctor, my boyfriend's mother and sister have epilepsy, while his father, older brother, and he himself are perfectly normal. If we get divorced, what is the probability of the child inheriting epilepsy through? How does the concept of epilepsy arise?Doctor's answer:
Your boyfriend's family has a history of genetic predisposition to epilepsy. After his divorce, any children he has may have a possibility of experiencing recurrent epilepsy. Recurrent epilepsy can have a potential for generational inheritance. The view that there is no generational inheritance can only say there is a possibility of generational inheritance, but the specific probability cannot be determined. In daily life, after the child is born, it is essential to pay attention to preventing head and hand injuries in the child. Additionally, it is important to maintain a cheerful mood and avoid being affected by negative emotions. The above advice is for the question, "Doctor, will epilepsy be inherited from my boyfriend's mother and sister?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
