Patient's question:
I am a person with epilepsy and have taken very small amounts of medication orally. Can I get pregnant? I originally thought I wouldn't consider having children in my later years, but meeting my current husband, he encouraged me to try. It is said that the risk of pregnancy for people with epilepsy is high. Will this affect the future fetus?Doctor's answer:
Patients with epilepsy can still get pregnant and have children. Some of my epilepsy patients have also married and had children. If epilepsy patients couldn't have children, what would these many epilepsy patients do? So there's no need to worry too much. Patients with epilepsy can use additional medications for control even after becoming pregnant, but these medications must have minimal environmental impact. It's best to use them appropriately under the guidance of a doctor.
