And the consultant neurologist added: “If the epilepsy focus is in the brain, it affects the intimate relationship and the secretion of sex hormones, other than that the person with epilepsy is afraid of having convulsions during intimate relationship.”
And she continued, “If a spasm occurs during the intimate relationship, this will tire the patient and the other party, and things will be difficult if one of the parties conceals his epilepsy from the other.”
medication problems
And she continued: “Rarely does a person with epilepsy say that during intercourse he experienced a convulsion, other than that some medications may lead to erectile dysfunction and low sperm count.”
She concluded her statements: “The new drugs for the treatment of epilepsy overcome the problems of the old drugs in this aspect for some sufferers.”
