Patient's question:
On August 6th of this year, protein was found in the urine, and by the 10th, my feet started swelling. On September 10th, a follow-up test showed 3+ protein in the urine, and the ultrasound results indicated that the baby was 3 weeks smaller than the actual gestational age. On the 28th, high blood pressure and generalized edema were discovered, and on the 30th, I underwent induction of labor. The diagnosis was severe preeclampsia.Doctor's answer:
Hello, preeclampsia is a disease specific to pregnancy, while severe preeclampsia is a severe stage of preeclampsia and is one of the important factors or causes of maternal and perinatal mortality. The impact of this disease on the fetus is mainly due to placental blood supply deficiency caused by uterine vessel spasm, leading to placental dysfunction. This can result in fetal distress, fetal growth restriction, stillbirth, perinatal death, or neonatal death. Since the etiology of this disease is unclear, complete prevention of its occurrence cannot be achieved at present. However, implementing the following preventive measures plays a significant role in preventing preeclampsia.Guidance:
1. Ensure good prenatal care, conduct regular prenatal examinations, and promptly identify and correct abnormalities.
2. Pregnant women should reduce the intake of fat and salt while increasing the consumption of foods rich in protein, vitamins, and trace elements.
3. Perform predictive diagnosis.
Lifestyle care: Rest, reduce stress and pressure, and maintain a positive mindset and emotional well-being.
