Female issues in epilepsy: A critical review
چکیده انگلیسی

The focus on gender-related issues for women with epilepsy has heightened in recent years. The emphasis, however, has been on the childbearing years. Epilepsy and antiepileptic drug treatment affect sexual development, the menstrual cycle, and aspects of contraception, fertility, and reproduction. Female patients with epilepsy at a reproductive age face a unique set of reproductive issues, ranging from descriptions of disorders of reproduction in epilepsy and its causes, to contraception, pregnancy, sexuality, menopause, and osteoporosis. Conditions and diseases that specifically affect women are discussed. The role of hormones across the life cycle—endogenous and exogenous hormones and their effects on drug interactions, drug metabolism, and therapeutic outcomes—is described. Contraception and pregnancy issues for women with epilepsy have received the appropriate attention.
