Patient's question:
My friend had high blood pressure when she was pregnant. She was very afraid that it would affect the child's health and even lead to a miscarriage. She wants to know what are the indications for terminating early pregnancy due to preeclampsia?Doctor's answer:
The indications for terminating early pregnancy in patients with preeclampsia include: 1. Preterm labor in patients with preeclampsia who show no significant improvement after active treatment for 24-48 hours, 2. Preterm labor in patients with preeclampsia whose gestational age is already below 34 weeks, 3. Preterm labor in patients with preeclampsia whose gestational age is less than 34 weeks, but whose placental function has declined, the fetus has matured, or the fetus has not matured but can be considered for fetal lung maturation with dexamethasone, making termination of pregnancy a viable option.
