Hypertension In Pregnancy :
Hypertension during pregnancy is a serious medical condition and generally risks both the mother and the fetus. They can be broadly categorized into several types which include chronic hypertension (which means high blood pressure that already existed before the conception process), gestational hypertension (which develops after 20 weeks of gestation) and preeclampsia which is characterized by high blood pressure and damage to other organ systems often with protein in the urine.
These risks causes placental insufficiency, being delivered preterm, low birth weight, and severe cases may lead to the seizures of eclampsia.The causes of pregnancy hypertension are not certainly identified but could be due to genetic syndromes, being obese, as well as medical diseases such as diabetes or kidney disease. Symptoms may not develop at all so it is manadatory for a regular prenatal check-ups to have blood pressure tracked. The patient should undergo a closely controlled diet containing minimal salt, exercise, and stress-reducing measures to ward off the management of hypertension. In dire conditions, medications may be given orally to control blood pressure. Mother as well as baby need to be constantly monitored by the caregivers.
