There are many reasons for postpartum renal hypertension. Let us look at the specific reasons together. After mastering certain methods, we can also comfort the mother.

Postpartum hypertension

Postpartum hypertension is a type of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Because it occurs after delivery, it is called postpartum hypertension.

Chinese name: postpartum hypertension

Cause 1: Essential hypertension

Reason 2: Renal hypertension

Reason 3: Nervous system-induced hypertension

Reason 1

Essential hypertension. Some patients have predisposing factors to hypertension, which are stimulated during pregnancy and develop into preeclampsia, which then becomes primary hypertension after delivery. Pregnancy is a precipitating factor. For example, among women who suffer from gestational hypertension during their childbearing period, 50% to 70% will develop hypertension when they reach middle age or old age.

Reason 2

Renal hypertension. The patient has kidney disease, such as nephritis or chronic pyelonephritis. The disease was not discovered before pregnancy, or it was not noticed because of mild condition, but it was stimulated and manifested after pregnancy, resulting in preeclampsia. Although the pregnancy was terminated, the original renal hypertension worsened and the postpartum hypertension could not be reduced to normal.

Reason 3

Nervous system-induced hypertension. Postpartum hypertension can be caused by factors such as postpartum mental stress, crying children, fatigue, lack of sleep, family disputes, and unhappiness during the confinement period.

Reason 4

Caused by the use of pressor drugs during labor. Postpartum hypertension may be caused by heavy bleeding during delivery and low blood pressure, and the doctor may have used pressor drugs, which increased the sensitivity of blood vessels to these drugs and other factors.

harm

Postpartum hypertension is very harmful. Long-term hypertension can cause damage to the mother's heart, brain, kidneys and other organs, and can even cause blindness. Postpartum hypertension is mostly secondary hypertension. The cause of postpartum hypertension should be identified and symptomatic treatment should be given after the primary disease is found. On the basis of treating the primary disease, antihypertensive drugs can be used for simultaneous treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine preparations with fewer side effects, such as antihypertensive peptides, can be selected. Comprehensive treatment can achieve ideal results.

There are many reasons for postpartum renal hypertension. Mothers who have just given birth are not only very weak physically, but also have great emotional ups and downs. Pay attention to family members, and more importantly, comfort the mother's emotions. If the mother's own illness is serious, a better way is to send her to the hospital for treatment. After all, doctors have more experience and methods than ordinary people.
