Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What is the normal range of amniotic fluid at 17 weeks?Doctor's answer:
Amniotic fluid index: The uterus is divided into four quadrants using the transverse line of the umbilicus and the median line of the abdomen. The vertical diameter of the largest amniotic fluid pool in each quadrant is measured, and the sum of these four measurements constitutes the amniotic fluid index.Normal range: 5–18 cm. If the amount of amniotic fluid exceeds 2000 ml at any stage of pregnancy, it is referred to as polyhydramnios.
Hello, this condition is generally determined through a blood test 10 days or more after intercourse. This is the earliest method to confirm pregnancy. Alternatively, a pregnancy test can be performed with an early pregnancy test strip if the menstrual period is delayed by about one week to confirm pregnancy. Once pregnancy is ruled out, menstrual regulation can proceed.
