Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Is it possible that the baby is deformed because of low amniotic fluid?Doctor's answer:
Amniotic fluid is one of the important warning signs of fetal intrauterine danger. When pregnancy is full-term and diagnosed as oligohydramnios, pregnancy should be terminated promptly. During labor, close monitoring of fetal condition is necessary. If fetal intrapartum distress occurs, delivery should be immediately terminated. For cases where delivery cannot be completed within a short period, after excluding fetal malformations, cesarean section is relatively safer to reduce the incidence of neonatal asphyxia and improve neonatal survival.
