Patient's question:
I'm currently 4 weeks pregnant. Today, my physical test revealed a plus sign for protein in the urine (0.3 g/L), and my blood pressure is also a bit high: 130/80 (my original systolic blood pressure was around 120). A month ago, my urinalysis was normal. Coincidentally, today is when I got my pre-employment physical at my new company, which is very stressful. My husband and I have decided not to keep this child because how would a new company possibly accept someone about to take maternity leave?I'm now quite worried about whether my urine protein levels will go down after the abortion and whether I'll need to retake the pre-employment physical. The testing center said they can exclude the results from my pregnancy-related tests, so I want to know how long it will take for my body to return to normal after the abortion.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is essential to take the issue of preeclampsia seriously after pregnancy and seek timely medical treatment. Oral antihypertensive medication, low-sodium diet, and other methods can help control it. Generally, it takes about half a year after delivery to recover.Generally, doctors will advise patients with signs of gestational kidney disease to pay attention to keeping warm and avoid coldness. Additionally, patients should also ensure a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
