You must have noticed that some people lose consciousness while working. In the middle, the body becomes stiff and he is unable to understand what anyone is saying and what is ultimately happening to him. In common language this type of disease is called epilepsy.
Health experts believe that epilepsy is a brain disorder in which the nervous system of the person is affected. Due to this disease, a person’s brain is not able to send messages properly to other parts of the body. The result is that the person loses the ability to express his feelings and emotions and starts behaving strangely. Diseases like epilepsy are still considered a form of ghosts and superstition in India.
How Epilepsy Can Affect Sexual Health

Doctors say that when a person has an epileptic attack, for a few moments he loses the ability to think, understand and understand what he is doing, due to which sexual ability is also affected. Sometimes this can also be due to changes in sex hormones and anti-seizure medicines.
