Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
The causes of polyhydramnios include fetal malformation, multiple pregnancies, diabetes, ABO or Rh blood group incompatibility, severe fetal hydrops, preeclampsia, acute hepatitis, and severe anemia in the pregnant woman. Placental choriocarcinoma and velamentous attachment of the umbilical cord can sometimes also cause polyhydramnios. The management of polyhydramnios primarily depends on whether the fetus has malformations and the severity of the pregnant woman's symptoms.
