Patient's question:
I am 37 weeks pregnant. Because I have gestational hypertension, and it is getting more serious now, I would like to ask if I can have a cesarean section now that I am 37 weeks pregnant?Doctor's answer:
At 37 weeks, a cesarean section can be performed. However, it must be confirmed based on the individual's physical condition and the results of a thorough examination that it is suitable for both the couple and meets the criteria. When a patient faces the effects of a cesarean section, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If the cesarean section does not heal properly with treatment, it is necessary to promptly change the treatment plan. When conditions permit, it is appropriate to adjust the temperature and humidity of the living environment to avoid risks such as infection.
