Women's issues in epilepsy
The following physician specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of Women’s Issues in Epilepsy.
The care of women with epilepsy requires special considerations. Seizures are often linked to the menstrual cycle and menopause. Sexual function and reproductive health may be affected by seizures and anti-epileptic drugs.
Women who have epilepsy and become pregnant have a higher risk for complications than women who don’t have epilepsy. These complications may include an increase in seizures and changes in the effectiveness of anti-seizure medications.
