What is "preeclampsia"?
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication characterized by high blood pressure and signs of damage to other organs, often the kidneys. It usually occurs after the 20th week of pregnancy and can cause symptoms like swelling, headaches, and vision changes. If left untreated, preeclampsia can lead to serious health problems for both the mother and baby. The main treatment is delivering the baby, but managing blood pressure and monitoring the mother’s condition are also important.
