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 had epilepsy before, and it is idiopathic epilepsy, then if she has already given birth to one child, it is best to avoid having a second child. This is because with each birth, the risk of her epilepsy recurring decreases once. 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.
