OBANIFA-Obanifa extreme documentaries
In this work Babalawo Obanifa will
document one of the herbal formula available in Yoruba herbal medicine for the
treatment of Eclampsia. Eclampsia is known as Aiperi Aboyun. Let me put
it in a lay man language when a woman is suffering from seizure or convulsion
during pregnancy that is what is Asian Aiperi oloyun.that is what is know as Eclampsia
in orthodox medicine. For the user of this work to be able to understand what we
are saying. We will adopt some of the explanation of what Eclampsia is from the work of Brindles Lee Macon and
Marijane Leonar title Eclampsia as medically review by olly Ernst, PA-C
and published https://www.healthline.com/health/eclampsia#symptoms(source).
I will adopt some of the explanation of Brindles Lee Macon and Marijane Leonar
at the inception and body of this work why the concluding part will reaveal and
document herbal remedie for this ailment. According to the aforemnetione
source. Eclampsia is a severe complication
of preeclampsia.
It’s a rare but serious condition where high blood pressure results in seizures
during pregnancy.
Seizures are periods of
disturbed brain activity that can cause episodes of staring, decreased
alertness, and convulsions (violent shaking). Eclampsia affects about 1 in every 200 women with preeclampsia. You can develop
eclampsia even if you don’t have a history of seizures.
Because preeclampsia can lead to
eclampsia, you may have symptoms of both conditions. However, some of your
symptoms may be due to other conditions, such as kidney disease or diabetes. It’s important
to tell your doctor about any conditions you have so they may rule out other
possible causes.
The following are common symptoms of
preeclampsia:
- elevated blood pressure
- swelling in your face or hands
- headaches
- excessive weight gain
- nausea and vomiting
- vision problems, including episodes with loss of vision or blurry vision
- difficulty urinating
- abdominal pain, especially in the right upper abdomen
Patients with eclampsia can have the
same symptoms as those noted above, or may even present with no
symptoms prior to the onset of eclampsia. The following are common symptoms
of eclampsia:
- seizures
- loss of consciousness
- agitation
Eclampsia often follows
preeclampsia, which is characterized by high blood pressure occurring in
pregnancy and, rarely, postpartum. Other findings may also be present such as
protein in the urine. If your preeclampsia worsens and affects your brain,
causing seizures, you have developed eclampsia.
Doctors don’t know for sure what
causes preeclampsia, but it’s thought to result from abnormal formation and
function of the placenta. They can explain how the symptoms of preeclampsia may
lead to eclampsia.
High
blood pressure
Preeclampsia is when your blood
pressure, or the force of blood against the walls of your arteries, becomes
high enough to damage your arteries and other blood vessels. Damage to your
arteries may restrict blood flow. It can produce swelling in the blood vessels
in your brain and to your growing baby. If this abnormal blood flow through
vessels interferes with your brain’s ability to function, seizures may occur.
Proteinuria
Preeclampsia commonly affects kidney
function. Protein in your urine, also known as proteinuria, is a common sign of
the condition. Each time you have a doctor’s appointment, your urine may be
tested for protein.
Typically, your kidneys filter waste
from your blood and create urine from these wastes. However, the kidneys try to
retain nutrients in the blood, such as protein, for redistribution to your
body. If the kidneys’ filters, called glomeruli, are damaged, protein can leak
through them and excrete into your urine.
If you have or have had
preeclampsia, you may be at risk for eclampsia.
Other risk factors for developing
eclampsia during pregnancy include:
- gestational or chronic hypertension (high blood pressure)
- being older than 35 years or younger than 20 years
- pregnancy with twins or triplets
- first-time pregnancy
- diabetes or another condition that affects your blood vessels
- kidney disease
Eclampsia
and your baby
Preeclampsia and eclampsia affect
the placenta, which is the organ that delivers oxygen and nutrients from the
mother’s blood to the fetus. When high blood pressure reduces blood flow
through the vessels, the placenta may be unable to function properly. This may
result in your baby being born with a low birth weight or other health
problems.
Problems with the placenta often
require preterm delivery for the health and safety of the baby. In rare cases,
these conditions cause stillbirth.
If you already have a preeclampsia
diagnosis or have a history of it, your doctor will order tests to determine if
your preeclampsia has happened again or gotten worse. If you don’t have
preeclampsia, your doctor will order tests for preeclampsia as well as others
to determine why you’re having seizures. These tests can include:
Blood
tests
Your doctor may order several types
of blood tests to assess your condition. These tests include a complete blood count,
which measures how many red blood cells you have in your blood, and a platelet
count to see how well your blood is clotting. Blood tests will also help
examine your kidney and liver function.
Creatinine
test
Creatinine is a
waste product created by the muscles. Your kidneys should filter most of the
creatinine from your blood, but if the glomeruli get damaged, excess creatinine
will remain in the blood. Having too much creatinine in your blood may indicate
preeclampsia, but it doesn’t always.
Urine
tests
Your doctor may order urine tests to
check for the presence of protein and its excretion rate.
Delivering your baby and placenta
are the recommended treatment for preeclampsia and eclampsia. Your doctor will
consider the severity of the disease and how mature your baby is when
recommending timing of delivery.
If your doctor diagnoses you with
mild preeclampsia, they may monitor your condition and treat you with
medication to prevent it from turning into eclampsia. Medications and
monitoring will help keep your blood pressure within a safer range until the
baby is mature enough to deliver.
If you do develop severe
preeclampsia or eclampsia, your doctor may deliver your baby early. Your care
plan will depend on how far along you are in your pregnancy and the severity of
your disease. You will need to be hospitalized for monitoring until you deliver
your baby.
Medications
Medications to prevent seizures,
called anticonvulsants
drugs, may be necessary. You may need medication to lower blood pressure if
you have high blood pressure. You may also receive steroids, which can help
your baby’s lungs mature prior to delivery.
Your symptoms should resolve within
days to weeks after you have your baby. That said, you will still have a
greater chance of blood pressure issues in your next pregnancy and possibly later in
lifeTrusted Source. It’s important to follow up for postpartum blood
pressure checks and exams after delivering your baby to ensure the disease is
resolving.
If complications occur during the
pregnancy, you may have a medical emergency such as placental
abruption. Placental abruption is a condition that causes the placenta to
detach from the uterus. This requires immediate emergency cesarean delivery to
save the baby.
The baby may be very ill or may even
die. Complications to the mother can be quite severe, including risk
of deathTrusted Source from stroke or cardiac arrest.
However, getting the proper medical
care for preeclampsia may prevent progression of the disease into a more severe
form such as eclampsia. Go to your prenatal visits as recommended by your
doctor to have your blood pressure, blood, and urine monitored. Make sure to
talk to your doctor about any symptoms you have, as well.
