Patient's question:
A woman is 27 years old this year, and I am more than half pregnant. My ankles are a bit swollen, and I have dizziness. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found that my blood pressure was a bit high. The doctor said it was pregnancy-induced hypertension. I want to ask when is it most appropriate to terminate early pregnancy with pregnancy-induced hypertension?Doctor's answer:
Exclude early pregnancy hypertension, when should we decide to terminate early pregnancy? Generally, we need to consider the specific condition of the pregnant woman, the blood pressure level, and the maturity of the fetus in the body. Finally, the obstetrician will determine the best delivery method and the optimal timing for terminating early pregnancy. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a standard Class III hospital for systematic and standardized examinations as soon as possible according to their own condition, so that they can receive symptomatic treatment. In addition, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
