Gestosis is a disease that occurs after 28 weeks (in the third trimester of pregnancy). The causes of preeclampsia have not yet been established definitively, but it is well known that under the influence of toxins the permeability of the kidneys increases and their work is disrupted, resulting in edema, proteinuria and increased blood pressure.
What is easy gestosis?
If gestosis of 1 degree develops during pregnancy ( pre-eclampsia ), then the pressure rises no higher than 150/90 mm Hg, the protein in the urine is not more than 1 g / l, and swelling only on the legs. Thus the general state of health of the pregnant woman is not disturbed much. To reveal gestosis of 1 degree is possible only with the help of urine analysis, measurement of arterial pressure and weight gain (not more than 500 g per week).
Preventive maintenance of gestosis of the first degree
To prevent swelling, you must limit the amount of liquid in the second half of pregnancy to 1.5 liters per day. Often the fetus squeezes the ureters, especially the right one, disrupting the outflow of urine and causing disruption of the kidneys, therefore, for any back pain or changes in urine analysis, it is recommended
Treatment of gestosis of mild
Light gestosis during pregnancy is treated on an outpatient basis or permanently for up to 2 weeks. In the treatment complex, magnesium preparations, drugs that improve kidney function, vitamins, hepatoprotectors, drugs that reduce blood clotting are used. But if a woman is diagnosed with first-degree gestosis, it is necessary to undergo a regular examination at the gynecologist in order to prevent the transition of the disease to a more severe form.
