Does epilepsy in my wife have a genetic inheritance?

Patient's question:

Because my wife has had epilepsy for three years, she has had many relapses since then, and treatment has been ongoing. However, the condition has not been fully cured, so we have not had children. Now, due to her age and the increased frequency of her relapses, we have been wanting to have a baby. Fortunately, she is currently pregnant, and we are both happy and worried.

Doctor's answer:

Epilepsy has a certain probability of being inherited across generations, but it is not guaranteed to be inherited in every case. If this situation occurs again, it is important to seek treatment at a relevant professional hospital as soon as possible and actively cooperate with the experts during diagnosis. The most advanced and most effective treatment for epilepsy currently is the Neuronal Multidimensional Therapy. Wishing you good health.
In addition, during the treatment of epilepsy, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and mental state are also particularly important. The patient must always maintain a positive mood and eat a balanced diet to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery from epilepsy.
