Abstract

Epilepsi tüm yaş gruplarında görülebildiğinden, doğurganlık çağındaki kadınları da etkileyebilir. Epilepsili bir kadının tedavisi, epilepsili bir erkeğin tedavisinden farklıdır. Çünkü epilepsi ve tedavide kullanılan antiepileptik ilaçlar (AEİ)  cinsel gelişimi, menstrual siklusu, kontrasepsiyonu, fertiliteyi, gebeliği, emzirmeyi ve menapozu etkileyebilir. Bu makalede kadın hastada epilepsi yönetimi tartışılacaktır.

Epilepsy and Women

Abstract

Since epilepsy can be seen in all age groups, it can also affect women of childbearing age. The treatment of epilepsy in women is very different from the treatment of men with epilepsy. Because epilepsy and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) used in the treatment can affect sexual development, menstrual cycle, contraception, fertility, pregnancy, lactation and menopause. This article discusses the management of epilepsy in a female patient.
