Can women with epilepsy have a second child?

Patient's question:

Not feeling well, uncomfortable all over, what's going on? Can a woman with epilepsy have a second child?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, if this female patient has a history of epilepsy and it is idiopathic epilepsy, and she has already given birth to one child, it is best to avoid having a second child. This is because with each child she gives birth to, the risk of her epilepsy recurring decreases. Of course, if she wants to have a second child, it is also possible as long as the risk is controlled. Finally, I wish you a speedy recovery.
