Patient's question:
My husband's grandmother has a history of epilepsy, although my husband doesn't, I'm still afraid it could be inherited through generations. I'm currently pregnant.What kind of help I need: Is there a high possibility of epilepsy being inherited through generations?
Doctor's answer:
There are many different causes of epilepsy, so many epilepsy patients have not believed that epilepsy is a hereditary disease. However, it is now widely recognized by people around the world that epilepsy may have the possibility of generational inheritance. Not every type of epilepsy is hereditary. Epilepsy has many different types, and most epilepsy is acquired postnatally. A small portion of epilepsy does have a hereditary tendency, but the inheritance is not necessarily very certain. Wishing the child a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
