Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for two months. How can I prevent pregnancy complicated with epilepsy? My relatives have had epilepsy again, which occurred after the child was born. I am worried that I might also experience this again. What should I pay attention to on a daily basis? Do I need to do any specific tests at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Hello, some forms of epilepsy are associated with organic inflammation. You don't need to worry, because only a very small number of pregnant patients experience epilepsy. If there has been epilepsy in your family, some diseases may be related to generational inheritance. If you are concerned about a recurrence, it is recommended to undergo genetic testing to see if you have a genetic predisposition to this. Let your doctor evaluate the possibility of recurrence. Finally, patients should develop good daily habits and maintain a regular schedule.
