How much amniotic fluid is normal at 27 weeks?

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How much amniotic fluid is normal at 27 weeks?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, amniotic fluid depth between 3-7 cm is normal, exceeding 7 cm indicates polyhydramnios, and less than 3 cm indicates oligohydramnios. Amniotic fluid index (AFI) between 8-20 cm is considered normal amniotic fluid volume, while an AFI less than 5 cm indicates oligohydramnios. Some women who have undergone sterilization may have pelvic lesions but show no symptoms, while others without pelvic lesions may experience symptoms. This suggests that psychological factors are present in the symptoms of post-sterilization complications. This may be related to the patient's excessive stress during the procedure and certain social factors. Therefore, it is important to provide psychological preparation before the surgery, helping the patient understand the procedure, alleviate anxiety and resistance, so that even if pelvic lesions occur post-surgery, severe symptoms can be avoided.
