Hi,

Women with epilepsy may have an increased risk of infertility, especially if they are taking multiple anti-seizure medications. Anti-seizure drugs have the potential to change the balance of reproductive hormones in the body, previous animal studies have shown.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ajeet Singh, General & Family Physician
