How long does it take to recover from postpartum preeclampsia?

Patient's question:

After having a child, I always feel a bit dizzy. Upon carefully checking my blood pressure, I found it was a bit high. It really hurts me, and now I don't dare to take medication. I often adjust it through many dietary habits. How long does it take for preeclampsia to fully recover after childbirth?

Doctor's answer:

Due to the influence of hormone levels during pregnancy, high blood pressure symptoms may occur. After giving birth, it is recommended that you pay attention to rest, maintain emotional stability, ensure a balanced diet, and take relevant antihypertensive medications. Monitor urine routine tests to check for the presence of protein in the urine, and also monitor liver and kidney function to assess any potential harm. Generally, if you had pregnancy-induced hypertension, it usually takes about three months to fully recover postpartum.
