Delivery
Delivery is the only definitive treatment for preeclampsia, as the condition stems from the placenta and typically resolves after it is removed. The timing of delivery depends on the severity of the disease and the gestational age of the fetus. In severe cases or if the condition threatens the health of the mother or baby, early delivery may be necessary—even before full term. For mild cases near term (≥37 weeks), delivery is usually recommended to prevent complications. Until delivery, management focuses on controlling blood pressure and monitoring for worsening signs.
