Oligohydramnios is a medical condition characterized by low levels of amniotic fluid surrounding a developing fetus during pregnancy. Amniotic fluid is essential for cushioning the fetus, allowing for movement, and supporting lung development. Oligohydramnios can occur due to various reasons, including problems with the placenta, fetal kidney issues, or ruptured membranes. The condition can be diagnosed through ultrasound imaging, which measures the amount of amniotic fluid. If detected, healthcare providers may monitor the pregnancy closely and assess the health of both the mother and fetus. In some cases, treatment options may include increased hydration or early delivery if necessary.
