Causes of Higher Blood Pressure During Pregnancy and Menopause





Women can also develop hypertension, especially in pregnant and menopausal women, their blood pressure tends to increase. Hmm, what is the reason?

According to Dr. Arieska Ann Soenarta, SpJP, FIHA from Harapan Kita Hospital, an increase in blood pressure can also occur during pregnancy. Well, estrogen plays an important role in the rise of blood pressure in the menopausal phase where when estrogen levels decline, the risk of hypertension increases.

"When a woman stops her periods, her hormone estrogen decreases significantly, which can damage the endothelial cells that trigger plaque in blood vessels, and blood vessels can trigger high blood pressure that causes cardiovascular disease (CVD) and even stroke , "Said Dr. Ann in a written statement sent by Philips Indonesia.

He added, this condition is not a problem for men. The reason, the decline in testosterone does not significantly affect the risk of hypertension, unless accompanied by unhealthy lifestyles, smoking and obesity. In addition to CVD and and stroke, hypertension is also a major risk factor for Cardio Cerebro Vascular Disease (CCVD).

Dr Ann said, most deaths in the world are caused by CCVD, both in men and women. It is estimated that there will be an increase in the prevalence of CCVD between 2000-2025 with the number reaching 9 percent in men and 13 percent in women.
"For those who already suffer from hypertension, treatment becomes important to control the disease, while for prevention, in essence, back to a healthy lifestyle, such as healthy eating habits, regular exercise, keep the weight healthy and not smoking, supported by examination Routine to monitor blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels, "added Dr. Ann.

"We are constantly trying to educate women about the risks of cardiovascular disease, and advocate for heart health early on, and we are constantly trying to raise awareness among women in Indonesia that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer.Complications due to hypertension take a long time to develop, thus raising risk awareness As early as possible, we hope more women and their families will make early lifestyle improvements, which will greatly reduce their risk of heart disease in the future, "said Philips Indonesia President Director Suryo Suwignjo.

Suryo said, maintaining health can be started from a simple way. In addition to adopting a healthy lifestyle, do regular checkups and do not wait until you feel something is wrong with the body.
