Can people with primary epilepsy have children?

Patient's question:

I have reached the legal age for marriage, epilepsy troubles me, can people with primary epilepsy marry and have children?

Doctor's answer:

Primary epilepsy patients can also get married and have children. To prevent emotional shocks and fatigue, they should take their medication on time and in the prescribed dosage. Among the patients we manage, some have conceived and given birth to healthy children while taking medication. Once pregnant, regular monitoring of data is sufficient. During pregnancy, medication should be taken to prevent recurrence, which reduces the risk of miscarriage. Under the guidance of a specialist doctor, pregnancy can be achieved safely. Don't overthink it—once pregnant, regular prenatal check-ups in a reputable hospital are all that's needed.
