Amniotic fluid is essential for the baby to develop properly during pregnancy. It is important that its volume is optimal. An abnormal amount of amniotic fluid can indicate various complications or abnormalities. What are the causes of polyuria in pregnancy and what can it threaten?
Polyhydrosis in pregnancy – what does it mean?
The volume of amniotic fluid is assessed during each ultrasound examination, especially in II. mid-pregnancy. The doctor can measure the volume of a single so-called “single”. pocket of fluid, or add up 4 pockets-one in each quadrant of the mother-to-be’s abdomen. The measured volume can be correct, too small, as is the case with thrombocephaly, or too large, when there is polycephaly. We speak of multilocularity when the depth of a single pocket (MVP/DVP) on ultrasound exceeds 8cm or when the sum of 4 pockets (AFI) is greater than 25cm.
Abnormal amniotic fluid volume in pregnancy is associated with various complications and in most cases requires further diagnosis. It is also worth knowing that physiologically at the end of pregnancy the volume of amniotic fluid may decrease.
Polydactyly in pregnancy- causes
Polycythemia often results from diabetes in pregnancy. In such a situation, it is usually accompanied by too much weight of the baby in relation to the gestational age. Such a situation means that diabetes is poorly controlled and which may result in the need for early termination of pregnancy. In addition, multilocularity occurs when a child has a congenital defect that interferes with his or her ability to swallow fluid properly. These include. esophageal obstruction. Multiparity in pregnancy can also occur as a result of intrauterine infection or serological conflict. It also appears in multiple pregnancies complicated by TTTS syndrome.
Polyhydrosis in pregnancy-complications
When there is too much amniotic fluid, the abdomen of the mother-to-be increases its circumference to the point that it can hinder her normal breathing. It is important to expand the diagnostic work-up to determine the cause of multilocularity when it is diagnosed. In this way, further complications can be avoided. Preterm labor is more likely to occur with polycystic births. There is also a greater risk of umbilical cord prolapse. After childbirth, if there has been a polycystic pregnancy, the contraction of the overstretched uterus may be impaired, which can lead to postpartum hemorrhage.
The good news is that in most cases, polyhydrosis has no specific cause, and the pregnancy goes well and the baby is born healthy.
