The process of a woman’s pregnancy is the process of conceiving life. This great process is full of dangers and variables that can affect the health of the pregnant woman as well as the normal development of the fetus if she is not careful. One of these dangers is from gestational hypertension. I’m sure you are no stranger to high blood pressure, but you may just lack the necessary knowledge about gestational hypertension. Gestational hypertension is a condition specific to pregnancy, and it includes both gestational hypertension and preeclampsia. Gestational hypertension refers to high blood pressure, dizziness, tinnitus, edema, proteinuria and other symptoms after 20 weeks of gestation, and in severe cases, it can lead to cerebral hemorrhage, liver damage and affect fetal development. Gestational hypertension does not appear for no reason, and its incidence is about 5-10%. The main causes are as follows: 1. High blood pressure before pregnancy That is to say, blood pressure is not normal before pregnancy. With the increase of body weight and blood volume after pregnancy, it is easy to develop gestational hypertension; 2, having twin or multiple pregnancies due to the large burden on the body and blood volume after pregnancy, so it is easy to develop gestational hypertension; 3, long-term illness, poor resistance, such as thyroid disease, rheumatoid disease, gestational hypertension after pregnancy is more likely compared to the general population; 4, the influence of genetic factors Mother is a patient with gestational hypertension, the incidence of hypertension after pregnancy is higher than the normal population. The incidence of gestational hypertension is higher than that of the normal population. The treatment of gestational hypertension depends on the patient’s condition. Simple gestational hypertension requires close monitoring of the development of the disease, moderate blood pressure management, without too much worry, but if it develops into preeclampsia, it is necessary to take antihypertensive measures according to the degree of the disease and symptomatic treatment. Meanwhile, gestational hypertension is not an indicator for cesarean delivery, and most hypertensive pregnant women can have a successful vaginal delivery. There is no need to worry about the delivery of the child.
