The dangers of pregnancy-induced hypertension

 Hypertension in pregnancy is very harmful, and can endanger the lives of pregnant women and fetuses in severe cases. So what are the hazards of pregnancy-induced hypertension? Mothers-to-be must pay attention to the six major hazards of pregnancy-induced hypertension. I also take this opportunity to warn mothers-to-be that although pregnancy-induced hypertension can't take medicine casually, you can't ignore it!


Hazard of pregnancy-induced hypertension: loss of brain regulation


Pregnancy-induced hypertension can cause spasm of small arteries in the brain. In layman's terms, it can affect some functions of the brain, leading to hypoxia or edema of the brain tissue, and even affecting the regulation function of cerebral blood vessels, causing spotted or localized patchy hemorrhage. . Patients may experience headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and convulsions.


The second danger of pregnancy-induced hypertension: heart failure


Hypertension in pregnancy can cause coronary artery spasm, causing myocardial ischemia, interstitial edema, and spotting hemorrhage and necrosis, which will increase the burden on the heart and cause heart failure in severe cases.


Three hazards of pregnancy-induced hypertension: renal failure


Pregnancy-induced hypertension can cause renal arterioles to harden and blood flow to block, resulting in renal ischemia and impaired renal function. The patient will experience oliguria and proteinuria, and if the condition is severe, renal failure will occur.


The hazards of pregnancy-induced hypertension: liver cell necrosis


Severe pregnancy-induced hypertension can cause intrahepatic arterioles to spasm, and then expand and relax, so that the blood vessels are suddenly congested and the pressure drops sharply, resulting in localized bleeding around the portal vein of the liver. At this time, liver cells will also occur due to ischemia and hypoxia. Different degrees of necrosis.


Hazards of pregnancy-induced hypertension: damage to placental function


Pregnancy hypertension can cause uterine vasospasm, which affects the blood supply of the mother to the fetus, impairs the function of the placenta, and the development of the fetus in the uterus becomes slow. In severe cases, placental abruption may occur, stillbirth or neonatal death may occur.


Hazards of pregnancy-induced hypertension: temporary blindness


Pregnancy-induced hypertension can cause spasm of small retinal arteries in the eye, ischemia, retinal edema, retinal detachment in severe cases, vertigo, blurred vision, and temporary blindness.


In general, the main hazard of pregnancy-induced hypertension is the spasm of small arteries, which makes various organs produce different degrees of disease. Therefore, expectant mothers must not ignore pregnancy-induced hypertension, and must pay attention to regular check-ups and timely treatment under the guidance of doctors.
