Patient's question:
My husband has epilepsy, and now I am pregnant with his child. I'd like to ask, does epilepsy have a generational inheritance?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy has a certain probability of hereditary transmission across generations, but the probability of such transmission is not very high. Therefore, you do not need to worry too much. If you are concerned that your child may inherit epilepsy from the previous generation, you can pay more attention to observing your child's symptoms. If there are signs of minor epilepsy seizures, it is recommended to seek timely treatment. Generally, controlling epilepsy during childhood can lead to a complete cure. Many sedative drugs can be used to manage the condition.
