Patient's question:
My husband is 26 years old this year. We have been divorced for more than two years. Before the divorce, my husband was carefully diagnosed with epilepsy. After treatment, it has improved, but it hasn't fully recovered. Now I am more than five months pregnant, and I just want to ask if this will be inherited to the child?Doctor's answer:
If a man has a history of epilepsy, this condition is generally never inherited from generation to generation to the baby, and there is no need to worry too much. It is not an acute disease, so there is not a strong risk of intergenerational inheritance. However, the children may have a relatively higher incidence rate in terms of the disease, but this probability is also very low. It is important to pay attention and actively implement prenatal and pregnancy examinations.
