  Different Effects Of Epilepsy On Genders             Did you know that according to a hospital's research on patients with epilepsy, the probability of epilepsy in men is higher than in women? Epilepsy is the most seen neurological disease. Epilepsy patients experience recurrent seizures. These seizures' features vary depending on the gender of the patients. There are three differences between male and female epilepsy patients: type of epilepsy, seizure frequency, and age distribution of seizures.              Different types of epilepsy usually occur in male and female patients. While JME and TLE type epilepsies are very common in male patients, JME, IGTC, and TLE type epilepsies are more common in female patients. However, JME and TLE types are diagnosed more frequently in women than in men. In addition, only JAE-type epilepsy is more common in men than women. Therefore, different gen...

WHAT ARE CAUSES OF EPILEPSY?     Epilepsy is a disease that occurs as a result of excessive electrical activity passing through many neuron cells in the brain. Epilepsy patients do not experience a single seizure. These patients regularly experience seizures. These attacks are different from person to person. Some epilepsy patients' bodies contract and other patients do not respond when they have a seizure. Epilepsy disease' causes are not all known. There are three specific known causes of epilepsy: brain tumors, fever, and traumatic seizures.       The incidence of epilepsy in patients with brain tumors is between 20% to 45%. There are many differences in these patients' data because their tumors' places are not identical. For this reason, the treatment of epilepsy patients with brain tumors is individual. In addition, epilepsy caused by brain tumors is resistant to medications. If doctors do not choose the correct medicine, patients might have a stroke. ...
