In general, marriage for people with epilepsy neither aggravates the condition nor necessarily promotes improvement. However, marriage is not advisable for some patients with epilepsy who have frequent seizures with severe brain lesions resulting in loss of work capacity. Although epilepsy is somewhat hereditary, it is limited to a small number of patients. With medical advice and the necessary tests before pregnancy, most patients can have children normally and without disaster to their offspring. In patients with epilepsy of childbearing age, pregnancy is not advisable when the seizures are not satisfactorily controlled; after the seizures are controlled, the condition can be controlled with small doses of medication under the guidance of a doctor until it is basically cured or completely controlled before having children. A small number of patients with epilepsy suspected of having a genetic defect cannot have children if they are found to have a genetic problem after the appropriate genetic counseling tests. In addition, when choosing a partner, patients with epilepsy should be careful not to marry anyone in their family, and should not marry anyone with a history of epilepsy and febrile convulsions to reduce the impact of genetic factors on their offspring.
