Patient's question:
Doctor, I heard from others today that if the amniotic fluid turns green, a cesarean section needs to be performed. Hello, must a cesarean section be performed if the amniotic fluid turns green?Doctor's answer:
Reappearance of green amniotic fluid indicates the presence of feces in the amniotic fluid. In most cases, this is a situation of amniotic fluid contamination, which is likely a manifestation of fetal aspiration in utero. If the amniotic fluid contamination is mild (degree 1 industrial pollution), it may be possible to attempt vaginal delivery. However, if the contamination is severe, it is generally advisable to undergo an early cesarean section to prevent respiratory distress in the newborn. Specific decisions should be made in accordance with the advice of local medical professionals. Recovery from a cesarean section is not easy. Friends who have undergone this procedure should always maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism. Only by doing so can they enhance their confidence in overcoming the challenges of a cesarean section and believe that they will surely recover.
