Hi doctor i was taking valporic acid to treat my sezuires for past 5 years could you tell me that it will effect fertility?

Dr. Peter Baumann answered

May affect fertility: Taking valproic acid may affect female or male fertility. Before starting a family it will be best to have the bridegroom's and the brides medical history reviewed by specialists. These may include neurology, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, and maternal fetal medicine.
