Patient's question:
Female, 27 years old, except for a few days when I had to provide for the baby, because I had gestational hypertension during pregnancy. The doctor said it could be recovered. How long does it take for people with gestational hypertension to recover after giving birth?Doctor's answer:
Hypertension during pregnancy, as the name suggests, refers to the recurrence of hypertension during early pregnancy. In fact, most people recover within three days after giving birth, possibly half of them. Some of the tests we conduct show that about 90% of people can return to normal blood pressure within sixty days after delivery, but not everyone. Therefore, if your blood pressure has not returned to normal six weeks or even twelve weeks after childbirth, you must visit an internal medicine specialist for a follow-up to explore any potential underlying internal medicine conditions. We have encountered cases where approximately 20% of individuals who did not recover sought internal medicine consultation to find the cause. In these cases, various internal medicine conditions were ruled out, including systemic lupus erythematosus, which is an immune system disorder, as well as kidney tumors.
