summary

To prevent the occurrence of PIH, the key is to do a good job of health care during pregnancy and understand the level of blood pressure (pre pregnancy and early pregnancy blood pressure). In addition to blood pressure, weight should also be measured to check whether there is protein in urine. More attention should be paid to pregnant women with family history of PIH, chronic persistent hypertension, nephropathy, diabetes mellitus, multiple pregnancy and polyhydramnios. Taking aspirin 50-150 mg per day in the second and last trimester of pregnancy can reduce the risk of PIH by 65%. For women taking oral contraceptives, blood pressure monitoring should be carried out to detect the rise of blood pressure in time. If the blood pressure rises, we should stop taking medicine and use other contraceptive methods to prevent the occurrence of hypertension. At the same time, physical examination should be carried out. Blood pressure, weight, breast, liver, kidney and gynecological examination must be carried out before taking the contraceptive, which is used as the control level before taking the contraceptive. If it is found that the contraceptive cannot be taken orally, it should not be used, and blood pressure should be measured regularly. Generally, the blood pressure is checked once every three months in the first year, and then once every six months.

How to prevent pregnancy induced hypertension

1. Prenatal examination. Blood pressure should be measured once in the early pregnancy as the basic blood pressure during pregnancy. After regular examination, especially after 36 weeks of pregnancy, blood pressure and weight changes, proteinuria and dizziness should be observed weekly.   

2. Strengthen nutrition and rest during pregnancy. Strengthening the nutrition in the middle and late pregnancy, especially the supplement of protein, multivitamins, folic acid and iron, has a certain effect on the prevention of pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome. Because of maternal nutrition deficiency, hypoproteinemia or severe anemia, the incidence of PIH increased.   

3. Pay attention to inducing factors and treat primary diseases. Think carefully about family history, whether maternal grandmother, mother or aunt of pregnant women have ever suffered from pregnancy induced hypertension. If so, genetic factors should be considered. Pregnant women who have suffered from primary hypertension, chronic nephritis and diabetes before pregnancy are prone to pregnancy induced hypertension. If pregnancy occurs in cold winter, we should strengthen prenatal examination and early treatment.
