Patient's question:
How can parents prevent epilepsy from recurring in their descendants? I used to have epilepsy, but I don't know if my child will have this disease in the future. It is said that it can be inherited across generations. My child is now 5 years old, and currently, there is no concern about any help.Doctor's answer:
The hereditary factors of epilepsy are not very high in generations, mainly related to environmental factors. For example, some people without a family history of epilepsy may also have seizures due to poisoning or choking. Therefore, preventive measures should be taken to avoid choking, poisoning, and exposure to industrial pollution environments, etc. Regular prenatal check-ups should be conducted, and issues should be addressed promptly if any problems are detected. The above suggestions are for the question "How can parents prevent epilepsy from recurring in their offspring?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
