Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm really worried about something now. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and have been hospitalized for a month. At first, my SD was high, and it's still high at 4.3. Now, in addition to elevated protein in urine, I had a 24-hour urine protein test today, which came back at 8,000. The doctor said they want to consider a cesarean section to deliver the baby earlier. Is protein in urine really that dangerous? But I don't want to deliver the baby so early, afraid that it might not be good for the baby. What should I do now?Doctor's answer:
At 33 weeks, proteinuria occurs due to preeclampsia, which is an abnormal condition for you. It is recommended that you follow your doctor's advice. Although it is not preterm labor, preeclampsia is relatively dangerous. In general, after delivery, you will fully recover to normal. For severe cases of cesarean delivery, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's guidance for timely treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements or medications for treatment, as this may worsen the condition. The above opinions are for reference only.
