Answers:
I don't know much about Epilepsy!. But if it is a matter of genes, then it is hereditary and can't be expelled - at least not through masturbation or safe (or unsafe) sex!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!. Basically, all of the cells in your body have the same set of genes!. The sperm cells are made by special cells in your testes, which also all have the same genes!. However, each sperm only contains half of your gene set (the other half for a baby would come from the woman's egg)!. Therefore, any particular sperm might or might not have the gene carrying the epilepsy!. But all sperm you ever produce may still carry that gene!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That isn't how it works!. Every single human contains every single possible disease coded in their DNA, they're just kept inactive (to put it in simple terms)!. If you were somehow cured of your epilepsy, your DNA will still contain the gene that expresses epilepsy and there is probably a chance your offspring may have it also!.

BUT I am not a doctor (I only have grade 12 bio), a doctor could help you better than yahoo answers :PWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like a case of juvenile epilepsy onset which is grown out of in most instances!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
