How can I prevent epilepsy?
Sometimes we can prevent epilepsy. The most common ways to reduce your risk of developing epilepsy are:
Have a healthy pregnancy. Some problems during pregnancy and childbirth may lead to epilepsy. Follow a prenatal care plan with your healthcare provider to keep you and your baby healthy.
Prevent head injuries.
Lower the chances of stroke and heart disease.
Be up-to-date on your vaccinations.
Wash your hands and prepare food safely to prevent worm infections such as cysticercosis.
