Patient's question:
A few weeks ago, when I went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, the doctor told me I had gestational hypertension and asked me to be hospitalized for close observation. However, I have been very restrained about being hospitalized. I just want to know the risks and consequences of not being hospitalized, as well as the aspects I should pay attention to. What kind of help do I need: Is hospitalization necessary for gestational hypertension?Doctor's answer:
Your blood pressure is high and fluctuates significantly. It is recommended that you be hospitalized so that doctors can closely monitor the cause. After medication, it should improve. Since your current condition is serious, medication is best. However, the medication may affect the baby. But if you don't take medication, your high blood pressure will also affect the baby. It is advised that you be hospitalized and receive treatment, and to follow the doctor's advice closely.You should first be hospitalized for close observation. As for what to do next, your attending physician will give you the best advice. Because based on what you've described, there is no way to make a choice.
