What is the high risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension?

Preeclampsia is also known as pregnancy-induced hypertension. Hypertension is a medical disease in itself. Once it occurs, it is irreversible and there are many complications of the disease itself. However, for pregnant women, suffering from high blood pressure will cause different symptoms and complications, increase the risk of pregnancy and delivery, and have different harms to the child and the pregnant woman herself, so the harm of the symptoms is quite large.

The risk of gestational hypertension is high, which is a test result for the prediction of gestational hypertension during pregnancy checkups, meaning that the pregnant woman is prone to gestational hypertension during pregnancy. Pregnant women may experience symptoms such as high blood pressure, edema, proteinuria, dizziness, and blurred vision. If the condition worsens, it may cause eclampsia, cerebral hemorrhage, etc., and in severe cases it may seriously endanger the lives of mothers and babies.

In order to understand and appreciate the risks of hypertension during pregnancy, it is also necessary to understand the clinical manifestations of the disease, and the pain it will cause to patients and children in the later stages. As our understanding of health improves, we also need to manage our food, clothing, housing and transportation in our daily lives and lead a healthy life.

If a woman develops symptoms of hypertensive edema and proteinuria after 20 weeks of pregnancy, she needs to be alert to whether she has gestational hypertension. Generally, if this disease is diagnosed, the patient sometimes has no symptoms but sometimes has dizziness. The presence of dizziness will also be accompanied by a slight increase in blood pressure.

If the pregnancy hypertension is severe, the patient may experience headaches, decreased vision, and some gastrointestinal symptoms, nausea and vomiting. Do not think that this is a normal reaction to pregnancy. In fact, pathophysiological changes have already occurred at this time, and the patient will also experience persistent upper abdominal pain. If you do a urine test, you can find a lot of proteinuria and the body's edema will continue to increase.

Hypertension during pregnancy can also cause certain harm to the fetus. If the symptoms are moderate to severe, insufficient blood supply will lead to fetal distress, premature birth or stillbirth, and the incidence of neonatal death will increase.

The occurrence of hypertension during pregnancy is a precursor to preeclampsia. Once combined with preeclampsia, the pregnant woman may lose her life in serious cases, so the pregnancy should be terminated immediately. Because severe preeclampsia can cause blood clotting disorders and cerebrovascular disease, which can lead to different symptoms of cardiovascular and renal organ failure.
