You or your child has the right to go to school. You or your child has equal rights without discrimination and enjoys the same rights to education as other children; you can afford to go to school. Most children with epilepsy do quite well in school. Try to keep your child in regular school and participate in various school activities, such as spring trips, visits, song contests, etc., unless your child has very severe or frequent seizures. As long as seizures are not too frequent, you or your child can and should participate in physical activities on a regular basis to benefit physical and mental health and reduce seizures. The type of activity depends on the age and interests of your child or you. Younger children can participate in various games, running and ball shooting; older children can jump rope, do gymnastics, martial arts and various ball games. However, adult supervision is required when participating in activities with some risk such as swimming, climbing, swinging, bicycling, etc. It is prohibited to participate in high risk sports such as rock climbing, gliding, diving and motorcycle cross-country racing, etc. Also, do not overdo the exercise, do not be too nervous, and ensure sufficient sleep every day. Can people with epilepsy get married and have children? First of all, the law allows epilepsy patients to get married, and secondly, it is also beneficial to the patient’s body and mind. If the seizures have been completely controlled, or basically no seizures, you can have love and happy, happy marriage as normal people, which can make you feel happy and reduce the number of seizures. For those who still have severe and frequent seizures: it is better not to get married. 3. Is epilepsy hereditary? The vast majority of epilepsy is not hereditary. 80% of epilepsy is caused by birth injury, encephalitis, poisoning, head trauma, encephalopathy, etc. Only a very few have a family tendency to develop, such as: febrile convulsions or convulsions, tuberous sclerosis, familial nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy, neurofibromatosis, childhood disoriented epilepsy, juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, phenylketonuria, etc. Fourth, do contraceptives and antiepileptic drugs conflict? Carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin sodium, paroxetine, oxcarbazepine, etc. can reduce the effectiveness of contraceptive pills and lead to unintended pregnancy, requiring adjustment of contraceptive pills or change to other contraceptive methods. Lamotrigine, gabapentin, levetiracetam, topiramate, aminoglutethimide, etc. do not affect the effectiveness of contraception. V. What preparations should be made before pregnancy? Make a good pregnancy plan, early consultation, regular visits to epilepsy specialist and obstetrician and gynecologist, regular check of EEG, blood concentration of epilepsy drugs, fetal ultrasound, etc.; minimum drugs, minimum dose, minimum seizures, if you cannot stop the drugs, regular medication should be used under the guidance of the doctor in an effort to reduce seizures and the damage of antiepileptic drugs to the mother and fetus; start taking folic acid and sufficient vitamins 3 months before pregnancy to prevent fetal spinal canal and other malformations; and finally to achieve a happy mood, adequate and reasonable nutrition. Sixth, can I have a healthy baby? First of all, you should understand that the possibility of having a healthy baby is not 100% for normal couples, but about 98%. For men with epilepsy, the probability of having a healthy baby is almost the same as that of a healthy person. The probability of having a healthy baby for women with epilepsy is slightly lower than that of a normal person, about 94%. Possible reasons for the relatively high incidence of malformed babies are: 1. Frequent or severe seizures in the mother, causing hypoxia and other hazards to the fetus. 2. Toxic injury to the fetus from antiepileptic drugs, carbamazepine < sodium phenytoin, phenobarbital, valproic acid, the more types of drugs taken, the greater the harm to the fetus, and the higher the dose of drugs taken, the greater the harm to the fetus.
