A Prospective Observational Study on Causes and Effectiveness of Oligohydramnios Treatment in Pregnant Women with Different Comorbidities

Abstract

Oligohydramnios is a rare condition characterised by decreased amniotic fluid volume for gestational age. To determine the causes and effectiveness of oligohydramnios treatment in oligohydramnios pregnant women. We conducted a prospective and observational study at GMH (Government Maternity Hospital) in Hanamkonda over a period of 6 months. We included 203 oligo patients in this study and in which patients were grouped as 3 categories based on amniotic fluid index (AFI) as mild, moderate, severe. Information of the patients were collected from patient case reports and face to face interactions. The data was analysed through EXCEL. From our study we can conclude that oligohydramnios treatment is showing improvement in mild, moderate and severe oligohydramnios patients. But patients with uncontrolled hypertension were not showing liquor improvement because of their decreased placental perfusion. Gestational diabetes and thyroid do not cause oligohydramnios in pregnancy condition.
