Patient's question:
I am a 5-month pregnant woman. The day before yesterday, it was found that my cholesterol and blood lipid levels are high. Could you please explain what causes this situation, what impact it may have on the fetus, and how to solve it?First follow-up question: Will it affect the fetus? Can you specifically discuss the impact of high cholesterol and blood lipid levels?
Doctor's answer:
Actually, many indicators for pregnant women cannot be based on normal levels, but blood sugar must be controlled to be lower (not exceeding 5 mmol/L). The impact of blood lipids is very small, and the effect of cholesterol is not too serious either. After all, you haven't reached that severe stage yet. Usually, exercise according to the pregnant woman's own condition, pay attention to diet, and have regular follow-ups—there won't be too many problems!
