Interpretation of "Women with epilepsy: clinically relevant issues"

Abstract

Women with epilepsy (WWE) face specific challenges throughout their lifespan. In 2016, Banger, et al published "Women with epilepsy: clinically relevant issues", discussing most common issues of WWE: epidemiology, catamenial epilepsy, contraception, sexual and reproductive dysfunction, pregnancy, lactation and mental health aspects. The author translated and illustrated this paper to improve the awareness of these gender?specific issues and implementation of effective interventions for WWE, to improve quality of life in WWE patients.
