    Glossary Catamenial Epilepsy

    seizure frequency increases during menstrual cycle due to hormonal changes

    Catamenial Epilepsy, also known as Menstrual Epilepsy, is a type of epilepsy where seizure frequency is linked to the menstrual cycle. This condition is thought to be influenced by hormonal fluctuations, particularly the levels of estrogen and progesterone, which can affect neuronal excitability and seizure thresholds.
