Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I had a seizure (epilepsy) at the age of 22. During the attack, my hands and feet twitched, my limbs trembled, and I also had foam. Since then, I have been taking medication to control it. I want to know if epilepsy can be married? Will it be inherited to the child in the next generation?Doctor's answer:
Legally speaking, there are currently no laws prohibiting epilepsy patients from getting married. However, epilepsy is a condition with potential for generational inheritance, and in such cases, if the couple decides to have children after marriage, prenatal examinations are necessary. Regular, intermittent prenatal check-ups should be conducted to prevent developmental issues or abnormalities in the child. From a medical perspective, if the epilepsy symptoms are severe, it is currently not advisable for the patient to marry.
