Patients with high blood pressure and severe anemia should not become pregnant

Some women usually have symptoms such as dizziness or dizziness when standing up, dark eyes, headaches, difficulty breathing, etc. They must undergo a blood test before pregnancy. As we all know, the hemoglobin of healthy women should generally be above 12%. Anyone with a hemoglobin lower than 8% is considered to have severe anemia. If severe anemia is confirmed, the anemia should be cured before pregnancy. If a woman suffering from severe anemia becomes pregnant, it will be detrimental to herself and her fetus. Because after pregnancy, the plasma components in the blood will gradually increase, while the hemoglobin content will relatively decrease, resulting in \”physiological anemia\”, which will aggravate the anemia. Pregnant women will experience symptoms such as dizziness, asthma, vertigo, and fatigue. . Anemia can also cause insufficient supply of nutrients and oxygen to the fetus, leading to poor fetal development. In addition, it maycause miscarriage or premature delivery, and weak uterine contractions during delivery may cause dystocia. Therefore, for general anemia patients, pregnancy should be considered based on the severity of their condition, but women with severe anemia should avoid pregnancy.

According to statistics, 15% to 30% of women suffering from hypertension will develop gestational poisoning after pregnancy, such as eclampsia, uterine stroke, intrapartum hemorrhage, etc., which directly threaten the lives of pregnant and parturient women. . In addition, due to high blood pressure and hypoxia, the possibility of intrauterine asphyxia and stillbirth is also increased. In addition, hypertension is a polygenic genetic disease, with a heritability rate of 62%. If one parent has high blood pressure, the probability of the child having the disease is 15% to 28%. If both parents are patients, the risk of the child having the disease is 20% to 40%. Therefore, it is best for patients with high blood pressure not to get pregnant. Women with high blood pressure should receive medical treatment according to medical advice before conceiving, and control their blood pressure to an acceptable level. Once the symptoms disappear, they can become pregnant. (Unit: mmHg)
