Patient's question:
I've been married to my husband for a year, and I'm four months pregnant. Since it's my first child, I've been paying close attention to my diet and lifestyle. Everything has been fine until today when I suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. The hospital confirmed that I have pulmonary embolism during pregnancy. How is pulmonary embolism during pregnancy treated?Doctor's answer:
Pulmonary embolism during pregnancy occurs when various substances directly enter the blood during pregnancy, ultimately leading to multiple blockages in the lungs, which is then referred to as pulmonary embolism. Currently, the treatment method for pulmonary embolism is thrombolysis and anti-embolism. Of course, during pregnancy, it is necessary to consider the impact on the fetus, and this requires weighing the pros and cons before implementing treatment. Therefore, it is essential to seek treatment at a reputable hospital with experienced professionals.
