Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a 28-year-old male who just graduated from university. When I was a child, I had epilepsy, but I haven't had any episodes in over ten years. I would like to ask if people with epilepsy can get divorced due to this condition. Will this disease be inherited to the next generation? Is it contagious, or can it be passed down through women?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as "," can be inherited across generations, although it is a rare occurrence in a small percentage of cases. Your current condition is relatively stable, and you are eligible to get divorced. After the divorce, it is important to avoid factors that may trigger a recurrence of epilepsy, such as fatigue and emotional excitement. Your divorcee should prevent consanguineous marriage and avoid divorcing a primary epilepsy patient. When planning to have children after the divorce, it is advisable to consult with a specialist doctor.
