What are the dangers of symptoms associated with gestational purpura?
Gestational purpura primarily involves damage to the autoimmune system during pregnancy, leading to reduced platelet production and capillary rupture and bleeding, which results in the occurrence of purpura. The symptoms of gestational purpura include skin purpura, fever, joint swelling, and pain.
Skin Purpura: Gestational purpura can cause a reduction in platelets and abnormal coagulation function in pregnant women, leading to subcutaneous mucosal tissue damage and bleeding, with symptoms of purpura appearing on the skin's surface.
Fever: During the illness, pregnant women have weakened immune systems, leading to abnormal immune function and dysfunction of the thermoregulatory center, causing abnormal elevations in body temperature.
Joint Swelling and Pain: Gestational purpura involves surrounding joint areas. The invasion of inflammatory substances stimulates the capillaries in the joint areas, causing joint swelling, effusion, and accompanying significant pain.
In addition to the above common symptoms, gestational purpura can also present with gum bleeding, intracranial bleeding, and consciousness disturbances. The hazards of gestational purpura include affecting fetal growth and development, lower limb thrombosis, and miscarriage.
Affecting Fetal Growth and Development: Pregnant women with gestational purpura may develop local tissue inflammatory infections, stimulating the mucosa and causing minor bleeding. This can stimulate the uterus and have a certain impact on fetal growth and development.
Causing Lower Limb Thrombosis: Gestational purpura can cause small vessel pathology, leading to obstructed venous blood return. Due to insufficient blood supply to local tissues in the lower limbs, this can result in the formation of lower limb thrombosis.
Causing Miscarriage: If gestational purpura is not controlled in a timely and effective manner, severe illness may cause massive bleeding in the kidneys and various organ tissues, leading to miscarriage in pregnant women.
In addition to the above common hazards, gestational purpura may also cause hypertension, renal failure, myocardial infarction, and other hazards. Pregnant women are advised to promptly visit the hospital and actively cooperate with doctors for treatment to prevent further progression of the illness.
