Patient's question:
What are the harms of epilepsy to women? My best friend was diagnosed with epilepsy last year. When the seizure occurred on her face, it was normal, but during the seizure, her whole body twitched, she foamed at the mouth, and she lost consciousness.Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy drugs can cause damage to the liver and kidneys of female patients, and may also lead to roughening of the face, thickening of the lips, thickening of subcutaneous tissues in the face and scalp, widening of the nose, and hirsutism in some women. After understanding the treatment, long-term antiepileptic drug treatment in female epilepsy patients can cause irregular menstrual cycles and dysfunction of sexual function, leading to significant changes in hormone levels in the body and reduced fertility. For severe epilepsy patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Do not change medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
