Patient's question:
A friend of mine is an epilepsy patient. When she is not having a seizure, she is just like a normal person. In the past two years, her condition has been relatively stable, with no major fluctuations. Because of this stability, she has now decided to have a child. Is there a problem for epilepsy patients to get pregnant? Will the baby be affected in any way?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, it is possible for patients with epilepsy to conceive. However, during the pregnancy process, to prevent recurrence of seizures, medication control should be implemented under the guidance of a qualified neurologist to avoid miscarriage caused by epilepsy. Patients should pay attention to ensuring adequate sleep and avoid overworking to prevent colds. Maintain a calm mindset and try to avoid emotional excitement.
