Patient's question:
My boyfriend's mother is an epilepsy patient, and their family has no history of this condition. It is said that it was caused by high fever in childhood that was not treated promptly, which has now left her intellect at the level of a teenager. My boyfriend and his sister are normal and have not experienced any further issues.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is divided into two categories: primary epilepsy and secondary epilepsy. It is generally believed that primary epilepsy has a certain degree of generational hereditary resistance, but the probability of generational heredity is not high. Your boyfriend's family does not have a history of epilepsy, and both you and your boyfriend are normal, so you can rest assured that your child will have no problems. For patients, if the condition of epilepsy is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered, otherwise it may lead to a recurrence of epilepsy. In addition, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
