Many people don t know about gestational hypertension, what is gestational hypertension?

Gestational hypertension is a condition in which pregnancy and hypertension coexist. There will be mainly edema. Symptoms such as high blood pressure, dizziness, tinnitus, edema, and proteinuria usually occur after 20 weeks of pregnancy. It is a serious threat to the health of mothers and children.

It is a condition that usually occurs more often in pregnant women. Because you eat a lot of food and don't exercise much when you're pregnant, you develop high blood pressure.

Gestational hypertension refers to the manifestations of increased blood pressure, proteinuria, and edema after 20 weeks of pregnancy, gestational hypertension is a very special disease, and it is also a very interesting disease, that is, it only appears during pregnancy, and after we give birth to a child, this disease is cured, so it is a pregnancy-related disease, and it is a very special disease.

Gestational hypertension is the high blood pressure that occurs in pregnant women, generally known as pregnancy toxicity, preeclampsia, is also a disease unique to pregnant women, most of which occur at 20 weeks of pregnancy and two weeks after childbirth, accounting for about 5% of all pregnant women, some of which are also accompanied by proteinuria or edema. Some patients will have severe symptoms such as headache, blurred vision, and epigastric pain, which may cause generalized spasms and even coma if not properly **, and may even lead to death in severe cases. For the causes of gestational hypertension, there are the following:

1. It may be related to uteroplacental ischemia.

2. It may be related to the lack of prostaglandins.

3. It is related to immunity and genetics. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the corresponding ** according to which aspect is caused.

Gestational hypertension is a disease specific to pregnant women, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, chronic hypertension complicated by preeclampsia, and chronic hypertension. The disease usually occurs after 20 weeks of gestation, or within 2 weeks after delivery. In severe cases, symptoms such as headache, blurred vision, and epigastric pain will occur, and if they are not treated in time, they will endanger the life of the mother and fetus.

Gestational hypertension can be mild, moderate, and severe. Mild gestational hypertension is mainly manifested by a mild increase in blood pressure, and some pregnant women will be accompanied by mild edema and a small amount of proteinuria, which will develop rapidly and worsen if not taken seriously. Mild gestational hypertension is diagnosed when blood pressure is normal until 20 weeks' gestation, and then rises above or above 4 2 kPa (30 15 mmHg) above basal blood pressure.

Moderate gestational hypertension is mainly manifested by a further increase in blood pressure, but within the blood pressure value, the protein content in the urine has increased, accompanied by edema, and some patients will have self-conscious symptoms such as dizziness.

Moderate hypertension includes pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, blood pressure will be exceeded, urine protein will show strong yang, edema will also vary depending on the severity of the pregnant woman's physique, headache, dizziness and other symptoms, severe cases will appear coma, need to be sent to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment in time.

There is often weakness in the limbs, often dizziness, loss of appetite, vomiting, and discomfort if the situation is very dangerous.

This is because of high blood pressure caused by pregnancy, which is also very harmful to the body, which will affect the normal growth of the fetus and bring great harm to yourself.

Specifically, if you check your blood pressure when you are pregnant, you will have a high blood pressure situation, and there will always be dizziness and nausea.

Let me share my opinion. When it comes to the dangers of gestational hypertension, there are more than one or two. The reason why "gestational hypertension" makes people pale is because it not only affects the health of the mother, but also endangers the fetus.

Whether it is an adult or an infant, gestational hypertension can affect their health and even their lives.

The most important pathophysiological change in hypertension during pregnancy is generalized spasm of small blood vessels. In this case, multiple organs can be involved, regardless of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, capillary, liver, and kidney function.

If gestational hypertension is not well controlled, the possible complication is placental abruption, which can cause fetal distress, intrauterine death, eclampsia, severe seizures and even cerebral hemorrhage. The tragedy of one corpse and two lives is not a threat!

So, what should pregnant women with gestational hypertension pay attention to?

First and foremost, it's important to have regular prenatal checkups to check your blood pressure levels. If your blood pressure is high, be sure to follow your doctor's instructions and take your medication on time. At the same time, do a good job of intrauterine monitoring of the fetus to find out whether the fetus is hypoxic as soon as possible.

At the same time, in life, pregnant mothers need to pay more attention to rest, avoid over-emotional, have balanced nutrition, do not eat or try to eat less high-salt food, such as pickled food, control weight, strengthen exercise, and help themselves and their babies safely through the entire pregnancy.

Hazards of gestational hypertension to different systems and fetuses: In hypertensive states of pregnancy, increased cerebral vascular permeability can lead to cerebral hematoma and cerebral vasospasm, which in turn can lead to cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction and embolism. At the same time, in the state of high blood perfusion, pregnant mothers are also prone to headaches and other uncomfortable symptoms.

Hypertension during pregnancy can cause glomerular leakage of plasma proteins, which is manifested by the presence of protein in the urine of pregnant mothers. Hypertension during pregnancy also impairs kidney function to varying degrees, leading to irreversible changes. For liver function, gestational hypertension also has an impact, especially the portal vein damage to the liver, and even hematoma or liver rupture, which seriously endangers the health of the mother and baby.

Because the characteristic physiological change of hypertension during pregnancy is generalized spasm of small blood vessels, in the case of the original pregnancy, the increase in blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and impairs cardiovascular function. In severe cases, it may also lead to complications such as heart failure and pulmonary edema.

In addition, changes in hormone levels during pregnancy promote water and sodium storage. Especially in the third trimester, edema symptoms are more pronounced, and the hypertensive state further leads to metabolic disturbances in the acid-base balance of water and electrolytes in the body. The small blood vessels between the uterus and the placenta also exhibit spasms in the hypertensive state of pregnancy, resulting in a unique recast insufficiency.

Placental blood circulation is an important channel for material exchange between pregnant mother and baby. If blood perfusion is reduced, it will affect the supply of substances needed by the pregnant mother to the baby's nutritional development, resulting in fetal growth and development restriction or even hypoxic distress, placental function will also decline, and placental vascular instability, rupture or placental abruption will occur, which is very dangerous and may endanger the life of the mother and baby at any time.

Therefore, gestational hypertension, although not uncommon, should not be taken lightly. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, close observation should be made, and timely and reasonable intervention should be made to avoid adverse pregnancy outcomes.

If a pregnant woman develops hypertensive disorders during pregnancy, after the condition is controlled, there is no impact on her future life. Women with gestational hypertension usually have a particularly large impact on the body, often causing adverse effects on various organs of the body, such as may cause cerebral vascular spasm, and may also cause cerebral ischemia, resulting in headaches, dizziness and other symptoms.

Gestational hypertension will lead to poor fetal development, affect the fetal bone development, affect the intellectual development of the fetus, and is likely to cause dystocia, which will affect the mother's diet, which will affect the baby's growth and development.

The impact is very large, it is likely to cause dizziness, vomiting, shock or syncope, and in severe cases, it is likely to lead to miscarriage or premature birth.

It will have a great impact, it is likely to affect the development of the fetus, and it may also affect the health of pregnant women, and it is also very likely that there will be premature birth or miscarriage, and there will be symptoms of dystocia.

It will lead to a decrease in the amount of blood, resulting in insufficient nutrition in the child's womb, resulting in insufficient oxygen**, resulting in the child's development retardation, which will affect the development of fetal intelligence.

In our lives, there are many pregnant women who want the fetus in the body to have a good growth and development during pregnancy, so they often choose to eat some high-protein and high-fat foods to supplement the nutrition in the body, but they also need to eat some fresh vegetables and fruits to promote digestion, otherwise it may lead to an increase in blood pressure and blood lipids in the body. If you don't pay attention, it may cause pregnant women to suffer from gestational hypertension, which will have a lot of effects on the pregnant woman's body and cause some harm to the fetus in the body. Some pregnant women will find that the protein content in the body is relatively low when they go to the prenatal checkup, which is caused by the increase in blood pressure, let's take a closer look.

Many pregnant women will have a large increase in appetite in the second and third trimesters, because the fetus in the body needs to grow more, coupled with the hormone secretion in the body, will make the woman's appetite change to a certain extent. In the daily diet, pregnant women must pay attention to daily dietary conditioning, pay attention to nutritional balance, and secondly, they should also exercise appropriately, so as to avoid the rise of blood in the body, otherwise once the body suffers from gestational hypertension, it may lead to the problem of premature birth of the fetus in the body, and it will also increase the difficulty of childbirth. This undoubtedly brings great harm to the woman's body, and in the third trimester, it will also cause edema in the body due to the increase in blood pressure.

According to scientific research, once a pregnant woman has gestational hypertension during pregnancy, it may lead to a decrease in the protein content in the body, which is indispensable for the growth and development of the fetus. Secondly, the placenta also needs a lot of protein and other nutrients, once the health of the placenta is affected, it may cause the fetus in the body to suffocate.

Based on the above, we can understand that gestational hypertension has a very large impact on both the pregnant woman and the fetus. In order to avoid this situation, pregnant women must develop good eating habits and living habits in their lives, and at the same time maintain a relaxed and happy mood.

For pregnant women, due to the continuous increase in blood pressure, it may lead to cerebrovascular accidents, long-term fluctuations in blood pressure cause complications such as eclampsia and preeclampsia, and may also lead to obvious damage to kidney function, causing hypoproteinemia, and can also lead to placental abruption, intrauterine embryonic dysplasia, intrauterine growth retardation, or intrauterine hypoxia of the fetus, fetal death in the uterine cavity.

Dizziness and nausea may occur, and it may also lead to dystocia, as well as gum diseases, which can seriously damage the heart and eventually lead to miscarriage.

Pregnant women are prone to heavy bleeding during childbirth, threatening the lives of both the pregnant woman and the fetus. It can increase the intraocular pressure of pregnant women and put them at risk of blindness. It can lead to a lack of oxygen in the child's uterus, and the child is prone to cerebral palsy.

High blood pressure can lead to cerebral hemorrhage in pregnant women, irreversible damage to the liver and kidneys, and may induce heart failure, pulmonary edema, retinal detachment, postpartum hemorrhage, etc., and the fetus may die due to insufficient blood supply.

Hypertension during pregnancy is very serious, harmful to both the mother and the fetus, mainly hypertension, edema, proteinuria, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes cloudy vision.

It is recommended that you control your blood pressure as soon as possible, rational use of antihypertensive drugs, although mild hypertension has little impact on pregnant women, but also careless, uncontrolled hypertension will not only damage the health of the mother, with the opening of the two-child policy, the number of elderly pregnant women, the incidence of pregnancy-induced hypertension is also high, pregnancy-induced hypertension is one of the important causes of maternal and perinatal death. Data show that the incidence of hypertension in China is about 5% to 12%, so it is very important to actively deal with gestational hypertension.

Severe hypotension can damage the health of the heart, kidneys and other organs, increase the risk of preeclampsia, cause placental abruption, premature birth, increase the chance of caesarean section, high blood pressure, swollen feet, severe headache, persistent proteinuria, and even seizures. This time, she stayed for 32 weeks for an emergency caesarean section.

The child's score is low after birth, in the neonatology department ** more than a month, gestational hypertension is a disease that only occurs during pregnancy, including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, eclampsia, chronic hypertension with preeclampsia and chronic hypertension, pregnancy with hypertension in China The incidence rate is 7% 12% abroad, if you have gestational hypertension, gestational hypertension susceptible people include: first pregnancy, or over 40 years old, obesity, malnutrition, multiple births, hypertension, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, diabetes, and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, if you have high blood pressure during pregnancy, it is very dangerous. Hypertension during pregnancy, not only will have symptoms of hypertension, but also edema and other symptoms, may induce auditory epilepsy, that is, multisystem involvement, mainly maternal abnormalities, occurring in liver, kidney and other organs, and may eventually lead to fetal growth retardation and fetal death in utero.
