Patient's question:
At the age of 30, I suffer from epilepsy, and I often have seizures, falling to the ground, losing consciousness, and waking up without knowing what happened again. The symptoms include foaming at the mouth, bluish complexion,, loss of consciousness, etc. Having just divorced this year, I want a child and don't know if it will be inherited across generations?Doctor's answer:
Epilepsy, also known as epilepsy in medical terms, is a neurological disorder that damages the brain. Is epilepsy inherited across generations? Regarding this question, patients must be fully aware, so they will never experience psychological stress and can actively manage the condition. In recent years, a large number of genetic studies have proven that epilepsy is indeed a hereditary disease, including primary and secondary epilepsy. Inheritance across generations is the main internal cause of epilepsy, while various factors that cause harm to the brain from the embryonic stage to the onset of the disease are the main external causes.
