I am 28 years old married of 6 months now. I have been facing the issue of frequent urination for a long time (2-3 years. I have had UTI multiple times and have taken the antibiotics course many times. Recently I have taken an antibiotic course for 10 days for vaginitis. However, the issue is still there. I have to urinate more than 15 times in a day and 4-5 times in the night. My gyne told me that there is no infection now, even the test reports are normal for urine routine and culture. She checked me for vaginitis and it was also ok. Apart from this, I have had diabetes checked many times and it was normal. Many times did thyroid tests and found normal. I have visited a lot of big and known hospitals and doctors still can not find any resolution. Moreover, my urination increases in the early morning (like around 4-5 am), starts every 30 minutes. I can't understand what's the reason. I have recently got my health check-up done on 27-Aug-19 after which I already took an antibiotic course for vaginitis, results as below: cholesterol: 204 mg/dl hdl cholesterol: 62 mg/dl ldl cholesterol: 132 mg/dl triglyceride: 184 mg/dl vldl cholesterol: 36.8 mg/dl total cholesterol/hdl ratio: 3.29 non-hdl cholesterol: 142 mg/dl sgot: 35 tsh: 4.62 urine routine, specific gravity: 1.002 rbc: nil wbc: 1-2 squamous epithelial cells: 3-5 nitrite: negative urobilinogen: normal protein, glucose, ketone, blood, bilirubin:nil cast, crystal, bacteria: nil sgpt: 35 pap smear: reactive cellular changes associated with inflammation or repair are present. Stool routine: pus cells: 0-1 hb: 11.3 pcv :34.9 mcv: 78.3 mch: 25.3 mpv: 11.3 rdw: 16.4 esr: 44 blood sugar fasting: 89 creatinine: 0.47 egfr: 157.39 usg whole abdomen: the right ovary measures 3.8 x 2.3 x 2.2 cm (volume 10.6 cc). The left ovary measures 4.0 x 2.5 x 2.3 cm (volume 12.8 cc). Bilateral ovaries are mildly bulky in size and shows multiple small follicles in peripheral distribution with increased stromal echogenicity suggestive of polycystic ovarian morphology. No abnormal adnexal mass lesion is seen. Impression: bilateral polycystic ovarian morphology. Current medication: I don't take any medicine for pcos yet taking epilive 250 twice a day for primary epilepsy (can this be a reason?) due to pcos my periods don't come, so I take meprate every month to get my periods. My lifestyle: sedentary height: 5'1 weight: 55 kg eating habits: home food, rarely junk I dink green tea daily and sometimes cinnamon hot water I drink milk in the night early morning I take giloy, amla juice.in the morning I eat soaked almonds and walnut. family history: mother: diabetes and skin allergy sister: pcos father: no more, suffered blood cancer.

Levetiracetam is pregnancy category b3. It is not linked to major birth defects. Also it does not put the unborn child’s cognitive or language development at risks according to latest studies. This is extremely encouraging for young women who are responsive to levetiracetam.
You may plan a pregnancy while on this drug without much anxiety.

Levetiracetam is supposed to be effective in controlling seizures during pregnancy and relatively free of teratogenic side effects. However, data on its efficacy and teratogenicity during pregnancy are limited
-women on antiepileptic drugs should receive counseling by neurophysician, regarding the risk of fetal abnormalities; folic acid supplementation is recommended.
