Patient's question:
After getting married to my husband, I only found out that he has hereditary epilepsy. His grandfather and father both have epilepsy, but they said the frequency of seizures is not as high. Can epilepsy be cured? If we want to have children in the future, will it be inherited from my husband's family-type epilepsy?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, this situation will never affect the child, so there is no need to worry too much. Currently, it is recommended to pay attention to oral medication treatment based on the situation. You can consider oral medication for antiepileptic treatment, while also paying attention to increasing physical exercise and avoiding overexertion and staying up late. This should help stabilize the symptoms. Generally, the probability of this being inherited from grandparents is very small.
