Hi doctor,
I am at high risk of preeclampsia. I went to the hospital to see the doctor and he gave me aspirin 81mg to take 1 tablet per day. Currently, I'm 36 weeks pregnant, but now it's been more than 2 months and I haven't been able to go to the doctor. So the doctor asked me to ask women 36 weeks pregnant at high risk of preeclampsia what to do? When will I stop taking Aspirin 81mg? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What should a woman who is 36 weeks pregnant have a high risk of preeclampsia? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Preeclampsia is a systemic pregnancy syndrome caused by pregnancy in the last 3 months of pregnancy (from the 20th week) with 3 symptoms: High blood pressure , proteinuria and edema.
Usually aspirin to prevent preeclampsia is taken up to 36 weeks, then stopped. You can visit an obstetrician-gynecologist to monitor your pregnancy.
If you still have questions about 36 weeks pregnant women at high risk of preeclampsia, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
