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 genders cause different types of epilepsy.

        Genders generate one of the other differences in the illness is seizure frequency. There are four seizure tenses. These are daily, both day and night, only night and moment of awakening. Firstly, the frequency of daily seizures is twice as common in men as in women. Secondly, the frequency of both day and night seizures is almost equal to each other. Women are more experience only night seizures than men. Finally, seizures on awakening are less widespread in men.

            There are three terms for epilepsy. These terms are under one year old, middle age, and old age. Male babies under one year old are less likely to come with epilepsy, but in middle age, more seizures materialize in males than females. Lastly, epilepsy disease appears more in men in old age.

            The type of epilepsy, seizure frequency, and age distribution of seizures are different in women and men. Epilepsy is a disease more widespread in men. Women have more types of epileptic seizures. As a result, epilepsy occurs at different times, frequencies, and in different ways in both genders.

	JAE	8	7 (87.5%)	1(12.5%)
	CAE	17	8 (47.5%)	9 (52.9%)

	BECTS	8	4 (50%)	4 (50%)
