Patient's question:
My brother is looking for a wife who suffers from epilepsy. Although it's not very serious, she sometimes has seizures. The family is quite worried about this. Now, his wife is pregnant and wants to consult about it. Will pregnancy affect the child if a person with epilepsy becomes pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Children born to women with epilepsy have a higher chance of experiencing recurrent encephalopathy, intellectual development delays, and tics. Common complications include preterm birth, preeclampsia, neonatal malformations, cesarean delivery, low birth weight, and perinatal mortality. Additionally, during the treatment of epilepsy, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach upset, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above information can help you. Thank you.
