Patient's question:
Will be staring blankly and no one will notice, will fall for many years.Doctor's answer:
Disease Analysis: Hello, epilepsy is a disease characterized by episodic, transient, and intermittent disturbances in consciousness. The causes of epilepsy include congenital factors (genetic), acquired factors, as well as imbalances in emotions, irregular diet, excessive fatigue, or mental stress, or it may be secondary to other diseases (such as brain abscess, meningitis, brain trauma, brain infection, or parasitic infections, etc.).Medical Advice: Primary epilepsy was previously considered a monogenic dominant or recessive genetic disease. In recent years, it is recognized as a polygenic genetic disease. Women with primary epilepsy may have children who are at risk of developing epilepsy, especially if the patients are close relatives or if both partners are primary epilepsy patients, the risk for the offspring will increase significantly. Additionally, some genetic diseases may manifest with epilepsy symptoms, such as tuberous sclerosis, phenylketonuria, galactosemia, etc. Although these conditions present with clinical symptoms of secondary epilepsy, they are definitely hereditary because they are clearly genetic disorders.
