How many weeks does preeclampsia usually last?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am 28 years old this year and currently pregnant. However, I have preeclampsia, so the doctor said the baby might be born prematurely. Now I would like to ask a few questions: What is the maximum number of weeks you can be pregnant with preeclampsia? What are the risks associated with premature birth?

Doctor's answer:

Because terminating early pregnancy is the most effective measure to treat gestational hypertension, the gestational age at which preeclampsia can be carried to needs to be considered based on the results of preeclampsia suppression and the recurrence time of preeclampsia. If a patient with preeclampsia undergoes active treatment for 24-28 hours without significant improvement, or if the gestational age of a patient with preeclampsia is already below 34 weeks, early pregnancy can be terminated. Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to a weakened immune system.
