Patient's question:
My wife's family has epilepsy, and it hasn't been cured after several years of treatment. My wife is now pregnant, and I want to verify whether my child will be inherited from the generation after birth, and whether it can be cured.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder characterized by recurrent, repetitive, and transient central nervous system dysfunction caused by abnormal pulses from damaged brain neuron cells. Clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as recurrent episodes of consciousness impairment, convulsions, sensory, motor, mental abnormalities, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. All medications work by reducing the excitability of brain cells to control recurrence. Moreover, long-term medication accumulation does not rule out the possibility of excessively high blood concentrations in the body, leading to drug poisoning and causing a series of discomforting symptoms. Long-term medication use can easily result in brain cells being "drowned" by fluid, swelling, memory decline, personality changes, and sluggish reactions.
