India, Feb. 14 -- Epilepsy is a chronic brain disorder that can lead to seizures, triggered by electrical activity in the brain. Catamenial epilepsy happens during certain phases of a woman's menstrual cycle, that can worsen the symptoms. In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr. Parinaaz Parhar, regional medical head and fertility specialist, Oasis Fertility, said, "Seizures in catamenial epilepsy are influenced by hormonal fluctuations and changes in the menstrual cycle that take place during puberty, pregnancy and menopause. The fluctuations in hormone levels, especially in the production of estrogen and progesterone, throughout the cycles can affect seizure frequency and severity."
