Patient's question:
Medical Description: 33 weeks, oligohydramnios with only 60. Don't know what to do. Please help. Previous Treatment and Effect: Just discovered this condition. Desired Help: Propose valuable solutions.Doctor's answer:
Oligohydramnios refers to a condition where the amniotic fluid volume is less than 300 milliliters during the late stage of pregnancy. The cause is often unclear but may be related to an imbalance in amniotic fluid metabolism. When oligohydramnios occurs, the amniotic fluid appears viscous, cloudy, and dark green. Oligohydramnios poses significant risks to both the mother and fetus, primarily due to increased uterine sensitivity, uncoordinated uterine contractions during labor, and prolonged labor. It can lead to varying degrees of fetal malformations, underdeveloped lungs, and complications such as fetal distress, intrauterine growth restriction, and neonatal asphyxia. Statistics show that the perinatal mortality rate (from 28 weeks of gestation to 7 days after birth) is five times higher in cases of oligohydramnios compared to normal pregnancies. Therefore, it is one of the key diseases requiring focused prevention and treatment.
