Abstract

The relevance of specific gender issues has been steadily increasing in recent years. The incidence of epilepsy among men and women in the population is approximately the same, but men are somewhat dominated in the adult period of life. The physiological, psychological and hormonal differences between a woman and a man cause a differentiated approach to the treatment of epilepsy depending on the sex of the patient. Thus, the problems associated with the reproductive health of men and women suffering from epilepsy accompany them throughout their lives, reducing the quality of life.
