Patient's question:
During early pregnancy, I took antihypertensive drugs and anesthetized insulin orally, but the blood pressure was not ideal, fluctuating high and low. I would like to ask when is the best time for surgery and whether there will be any danger to the child? When is the best time for surgery for preeclampsia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, there are two types of conditions that can cause hypertension in pregnant women: 1. Physiological factors, 2. Pathological factors. However, regardless of the cause, both increase the risk during labor. Therefore, if a pregnant woman detects a drop in blood pressure, she should prepare for the following three aspects.1. Increase prenatal check-ups.
2. Actively manage blood pressure. Treating hypertension in pregnant women cannot rely solely on antihypertensive drugs, as excessively taking strong oral antihypertensive medications is not beneficial for the health of the mother or fetus, nor is it advisable to use too many sedatives. Generally, safer medications include reserpine, antihypertensive tablets, or compound antihypertensive tablets, among others. Chinese herbal medicines such as wild chrysanthemum and Apocynum venetum can also be used.
