Many pregnant women may experience some pregnancy complications during pregnancy, such as hypertension, which is a very common one. In fact, the occurrence of gestational hypertension is closely related to the age of the pregnant woman. The older the pregnant woman, the higher the chance of developing hypertension. Let's understand why older pregnant women have hypertension?
Older pregnant women have a higher chance of developing hypertension, and not all older pregnant women will experience hypertension. The reason why the probability of gestational hypertension increases with age is that as women age, their physical condition gradually declines, making them more prone to developing hypertension after pregnancy. However, this is also related to the physical condition of the pregnant woman, and there are many elderly pregnant women without hypertension.
In fact, it is not only older pregnant women who are prone to hypertension, but younger pregnant women also have a higher chance of developing gestational hypertension, especially those under the age of 18 who need to be vigilant. Some pregnant women have polyhydramnios, which is also an important cause of gestational hypertension.
So far, the etiology of pregnancy induced hypertension is not very clear. In addition to the age of pregnant women, it is also related to metabolic diseases, such as diabetes, kidney disease, etc., which may cause pregnancy induced hypertension. Some pregnant women have twins or multiple pregnancies, which increases the risk of developing hypertension.
