Patient's question:
I've been divorced from my husband for 3 years. Due to my condition, I haven't wanted to have a baby. Although I don't show it, I feel very guilty about it.What kind of help I need: Can epilepsy patients still have babies?
Doctor's answer:
Patients with epilepsy should avoid pregnancy while taking medication, as these drugs can cause certain damage to the fetus. Additionally, pregnancy during this period can easily lead to a recurrence of the condition. Currently, the primary approach is to use medication to control the condition effectively. Once the condition improves, gradually increase the types and dosage of medication. After the condition is stabilized, medication can be discontinued, and then pregnancy can be considered, ensuring a safer outcome. Wishing the child a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
