Patient's question:
After I divorced my wife, I discovered she had epilepsy. But none of her family members had it. Now she has given birth to a daughter who is already 7 years old. Her health has been excellent so far, and there have been no more epilepsy attacks. However, I have always been very worried, fearing that my daughter might also experience epilepsy at a certain age.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a common neurological system disorder that can occur at any age. Frequent recurrence of epilepsy has varying degrees of interference for patients. There are many different causes that can lead to epilepsy, such as: congenital diseases, prenatal and perinatal diseases, epilepsy attacks following high fever convulsions, cranial brain trauma, intracranial infections, intracranial tumors, cerebrovascular diseases, poisoning, and so on. For patients, if the condition of primary epilepsy is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of primary epilepsy. In addition, patients also need to maintain a cheerful mood to avoid worsening the condition. It is hoped that the answers to the above questions can help everyone. Thank you.
