Risks of Preeclampsia During Pregnancy and Preventive Measures

Preeclampsia during pregnancy is a serious health condition that can threaten a mother’s life. It is characterized by high blood pressure and the presence of protein in the urine, which can impair organ function and increase the risk of emergency cesarean sections and strokes. Worldwide, preeclampsia and related hypertensive disorders cause the deaths of approximately 70,000 women and 500,000 infants annually.

While medications can help manage the symptoms during pregnancy, a complete cure for preeclampsia currently exists only through delivery of the baby. Researchers continue to explore new treatment options for this condition. For more detailed information, please watch the video provided.
