Hypertension has become a major problem that troubles people, especially middle-aged and elderly people. The incidence rate is very high, and after the disease, dizziness or headache may occur. If blood pressure is not controlled properly, it can also cause other vascular problems and even threaten one's life. So, what is the probability of pregnant women suffering from preeclampsia?
The incidence rate of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) is about 5% to 10%, and it is 10% or even 16% of the total number of pregnancy related deaths that cause maternal deaths. It can be seen that this disease is very harmful, and other problems, such as eclampsia, are prone to occur throughout pregnancy.
The main treatment for preeclampsia is to control the patient's blood pressure. Usually, patients may also experience proteinuria or edema. The cause of this disease is related to genetic factors, but external factors also have a significant impact. If the pregnant woman is already overweight, the chances of developing preeclampsia are higher.
When giving birth, it is also necessary to consider the actual situation of the pregnant woman. Vaginal delivery may lead to an increase in blood pressure and the risk of preeclampsia. Therefore, most patients with preeclampsia are recommended to undergo cesarean section, which can minimize the harm to both the pregnant woman and the fetus. However, if there is a possibility of vaginal delivery, doctors also recommend trying it.
