1. What is Oligohydramnios

Oligohydramnios is a pregnancy complication where the amount of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus is abnormally low. Amniotic fluid is essential for cushioning the baby, enabling movement, and supporting lung and organ development. Low levels can lead to pregnancy risks and require careful management.

2. Types of Oligohydramnios

• Mild Oligohydramnios – Slight reduction in fluid, often manageable with monitoring.
• Moderate Oligohydramnios – Noticeable deficiency, may cause discomfort and affect fetal growth.
• Severe Oligohydramnios – Critically low fluid levels, posing risks of complications for both mother and child.

3. Causes of Oligohydramnios

• Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) – Leakage of amniotic fluid.
• Placental Problems – Poor blood flow reducing nutrient and fluid supply.
• Maternal Health Issues – Hypertension, diabetes, or dehydration.
• Fetal Abnormalities – Issues with kidney or urinary tract affecting fluid production.
• Post-Term Pregnancy – Going beyond 41–42 weeks often lowers fluid levels.
• Certain Medications – Drugs for high blood pressure may decrease fluid volume.
