Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension (Pih)

Pregnancy-onset hypertension, also known as preeclampsia, is a serious condition that can occur in women during pregnancy. Preeclampsia can lead to complications for both mother and baby, so it is important to know its symptoms and treatment.

Preeclampsia usually develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy and is characterized by high blood pressure (hypertension) and protein in the urine (proteinuria). Other signs of preeclampsia may include headaches, swelling, and vision changes.

If preeclampsia is not treated, it can progress and lead to effects on the cardiovascular system, kidneys and liver. Fetal growth restriction, premature birth and other complications for the baby may also occur.

To diagnose preeclampsia, your doctor may do a number of tests, such as measuring your blood pressure and protein levels in your urine, and monitor your symptoms. If preeclampsia is confirmed, treatment may include controlling blood pressure, limiting physical activity, and taking medications.

In some cases, when preeclampsia becomes severe, hospitalization may be required to monitor the mother and baby. In some cases, early birth may be recommended to prevent complications.

Overall, preeclampsia is a serious condition that can lead to complications in both mother and baby. Good prevention is to regularly visit your doctor during pregnancy and follow his recommendations. If you suspect you may have preeclampsia, contact your doctor as soon as possible.
