Patient's question:
Initially, we didn't have the intention to have children, mainly because of my condition. When I get dizzy, I feel lightheaded and unsteady, and I might even have breakdowns. My body doesn't have other problems, but what should be done if a person with epilepsy accidentally gets pregnant? What kind of help is needed: How should a person with epilepsy be treated if they accidentally get pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Because epilepsy has a certain probability of hereditary transmission across generations, patients should not blindly consider pregnancy but should wait until their epilepsy condition is well-controlled before doing so. In case of accidental pregnancy, it should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor, with medication dosage gradually increased. The average concentration of epilepsy medication can be maintained to ensure that the patient's medication levels remain within a certain range, and the dosage can be slowly increased, or low-side-effect medications can be substituted.
