Patient's question:
Edema, proteinuria 2.Doctor's answer:
Guidance: Pregnancy-induced hypertension syndrome, abbreviated as PIH, is a syndrome unique to pregnant women. It occurs during pregnancy and resolves upon its termination. This condition typically manifests after the 20th week of pregnancy, primarily characterized by hypertension, edema, and proteinuria. In severe cases, it may lead to convulsions, coma, or even maternal and fetal death. Preventing pregnancy-induced hypertension in pregnant women hinges on prevention, with key measures including: receiving prenatal health education during pregnancy, undergoing regular prenatal examinations, alleviating psychological concerns, and maintaining good prenatal care; paying attention to the nutrition and rest of pregnant women; conducting predictive and diagnostic tests for PIH. If a pregnant woman develops mild PIH, the frequency of prenatal examinations should be increased, close attention should be paid to changes in her condition, and communication with her doctor should be maintained, following their guidance and instructions. For moderate to severe PIH, immediate hospitalization and treatment should be sought upon confirmation of the diagnosis.
