Patient's question:
I was seven and a half months pregnant and always felt dizzy, and the symptoms of high blood pressure, edema, and proteinuria reappeared. The hospital examination said this was preeclampsia. Later, following the doctor's advice, I actively treated it and avoided serious consequences.What kind of help is needed: How can preeclampsia be prevented?
Doctor's answer:
When lying in bed during the day, it is best to lie on your left side. This can shift the right-rotated uterus to the right, eliminating pressure on the inferior vena cava and enhancing venous return, thereby improving overall blood circulation, placental and renal blood flow, reducing blood pressure, and promoting urination. Smoking and increasing weak smoking: Nicotine in tobacco causes blood vessels to constrict, which can lower blood pressure. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
