What should I do if the amniotic fluid index is 6.7 at 34 weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

I have a particularly itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What should I do if I'm 34 weeks pregnant with an amniotic fluid index of 6.7?

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, amniotic fluid depth is normal within 3-8 centimeters, exceeding 8 centimeters indicates polyhydramnios, and less than 3 centimeters indicates oligohydramnios. The amniotic fluid index (AFI) of 8-20 cm is considered normal. An AFI less than 5 cm indicates oligohydramnios, while an AFI exceeding 20 cm indicates polyhydramnios. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of a hospital. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. It is also important to drink more water and maintain good personal hygiene.
