Preeclampsia: A Silent Threat in Pregnancy with Serious Risks
Preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication, poses significant risks to both mothers and fetuses, often developing without clear symptoms. Dr. Orit Bernholtz, a specialist in high-risk pregnancy, highlights the complexity of preeclampsia, which can mimic normal pregnancy symptoms like fatigue and discomfort. The condition is linked to high blood pressure and can lead to severe complications such as seizures, brain hemorrhages, and even death. Despite advances in detection, there is no early-stage treatment, making awareness and monitoring crucial. Preeclampsia can occur in up to 8% of pregnancies, with risk factors including older maternal age, fertility treatments, and underlying health conditions.
