Patient's question:
Due to sudden left body numbness, he has been hospitalized for over 8 years. The patient's face is black, his face is dull, his left leg is stiff, and he feels extremely numb, neurasthenia, and heart palpitations. The diagnosis of limited epilepsy requires assistance: Can cape wind be inherited across generations?Doctor's answer:
A very small number of epilepsy patients have irregular intergenerational genetic factors, which do not significantly affect the majority of patients. The extent of interference is primarily related to the cause. Among relatives of primary epilepsy patients, the incidence rates of secondary epilepsy are 3%-4% and 0-1%, respectively, proving that primary epilepsy has a greater impact, with higher incidence rates among closer blood relatives. If both parents suffer from epilepsy or one child is affected, the incidence rate in the third generation is 20%. Therefore, although patients with epilepsy can divorce, their birth rate should be restricted. When determining direct relatives for epilepsy patients, it is advisable not to include direct relatives with epilepsy or a family history of the condition. Closer blood relations are preferable.
