Hydramnios What is hydramnios Hydramnios refers to a condition
where there is excess amniotic fluid around the baby. This disorder could
indicate some abnormality in the pregnancy, or it could simply be incorrect
diet of the mother (a common cause in many Indian women). Hydramnios may
be caused by a genetic disorder that interferes with the foetus' ability
to swallow.
How is this condition diagnosed and treated The size of the abdomen could indicate
the existence of this condition. A suspiciously large abdomen could indicate
hydramnios. The diagnosis can be confirmed by doing an ultrasound. If a
woman has hydramnios, doctors recommend that she restrict her fluid intake
(but not drastically) and reduce the salt content in her diet. A
hectic routine is also a major cause for fluid retention around the baby.
So slow down, the important of rest cannot be stressed enough.
How is it harmful Excessive hydramnios can present a problem for the woman. If it interferes with the mother's breathing, it may become necessary to withdraw the excess amniotic fluid by performing an amniocentesis. To add your views on this article or read others comments Click Here
