When low amniotic fluid is detected during pregnancy, the appropriate treatment plan is usually chosen based on the presence of fetal abnormalities and the size of the gestational week.
If the amount of amniotic fluid is less than 300 milliliters in late pregnancy, the condition is called hyponatremia. If the amniotic fluid is found to be too low, further examination is needed to determine whether the fetus has any malformations.
1. Low amniotic fluid combined with severe lethal structural abnormalities of the fetus. If the fetus is diagnosed with a severe lethal structural abnormality, the pregnancy will need to be terminated, that is, induced labor.
2. Low amniotic fluid combined with a normal fetus.
(1) If the fetus is full term, the pregnancy should be terminated promptly. For example, if the fetal reserve function is still good and there is no obvious intrauterine hypoxia, you can have a vaginal trial of labor. If there is a combination of intrauterine distress, placental dysfunction, etc., cesarean section may be necessary.
(2) If the fetus is not yet full-term and the fetal lungs are not yet mature, it is necessary to treat the cause of the disease, try to prolong the gestation period, and terminate the pregnancy if necessary.
