Patient's question:
Because I am too obese, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure a long time ago. I just got married recently, and I want to have a child with my husband, but I'm also very upset about the potential harm to my body. So, I've been hesitating. Can I have a child with high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
For patients with hypertension, if their blood pressure is well-controlled, they can have children. However, during pregnancy, it is essential to monitor blood pressure fluctuations. If the patient experiences high blood pressure, edema, or proteinuria again, they should promptly seek medical attention. In some cases, medication may be necessary. In terms of diet, a high-quality protein diet should be the foundation, and the intake of sodium should be reduced, which is beneficial for hypertension.
