Can secondary epilepsy be inherited?

Patient's question:

My boyfriend has secondary epilepsy. I want to ask if secondary epilepsy can be inherited across generations? Can people with epilepsy have children?

Doctor's answer:

If your boyfriend has secondary epilepsy, as long as it's not congenital epilepsy, it generally will not be inherited from generation to generation in children. Secondary epilepsy may be related to stimuli after birth, brain trauma, or low-grade fever, and this is not a hereditary disease. Of course, it will not be inherited from generation to generation in children. You can have children, and there is no impact.
