Gestational [pregnancy-induced] hypertension - what does this mean

Gestational hypertension, also known as pregnancy-induced hypertension, occurs when a woman develops high blood pressure during pregnancy. it is usually diagnosed after 20 weeks of gestation and can cause complications for both mother and baby if not properly managed.

What happens during the disease - gestational [pregnancy-induced] hypertension

Gestational hypertension is caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors. during pregnancy, increased levels of progesterone and other hormones can cause the walls of the blood vessels to relax, leading to increased resistance to blood flow. this can cause an increase in blood pressure and eventually lead to gestational hypertension.
