There is no clear gender distinction between seizures, so women’s seizures are no different from regular seizures. However, there are special types of epilepsy in women, such as menstrual epilepsy, and treatment requires attention to medication if a woman of childbearing age has a need to have children. Epilepsy is a clinical syndrome caused by highly synchronized abnormal discharges of neurons in the brain due to multiple causes, and the clinical manifestations are characterized by ictal, transient, repetitive and stereotyped. The different locations of the abnormally discharged neurons and the differences in the scope of the abnormal discharge waves lead to different forms of seizures in patients. Epilepsy is a common disease of the nervous system, and epidemiologic data show that the annual incidence of epilepsy is (50-70)/100,000, and the prevalence rate is about 5 per 100,000, with no gender distinction. However, female patients can have special types of epilepsy, such as menstrual epilepsy. When female patients with epilepsy of childbearing age have reproductive needs, medication should also be considered in terms of whether it affects fetal development, teratogenicity and other factors. Women with symptoms of epileptic seizures should seek timely medical treatment and follow the doctor’s instructions to rationally choose drug treatment.
