If you are a man who has been diagnosed with epilepsy, you might have all kinds of questions. Can I still work and drive? Do I have to keep seeing a doctor? Will I have seizures during sex? Will my drugs affect my sexual performance? Will epilepsy stop me from having children?

We’ve written this information to try and answer some of these questions. If you want to know more about epilepsy and how it could affect you, you can speak to an epilepsy adviser on the Epilepsy Helpline or send them an email or a text. Alternatively, contact your family doctor, epilepsy specialist or epilepsy specialist nurse.
