Patient's question:
Doctor, I am a male, 28 years old, and I just graduated from university. When I was a child, I had epilepsy, but I haven't had any episodes for over ten years. I would like to ask if people with epilepsy can get divorced. Does this disease have generational inheritance to the next generation? Is it contagious, or does it only affect women?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as "," can be inherited across generations, although it is a very small percentage of cases. Your current condition is relatively stable, and you are eligible to get divorced. After the divorce, it is important to prevent factors such as fatigue and emotional excitement from triggering a recurrence of epilepsy. Your divorcee should avoid close relatives marrying and should not divorce someone with primary epilepsy. When planning to have children after the divorce, it is advisable to consult with a specialist doctor.
