Abstract

Oligohyramnios is a condition in which liquor amnii is deficient inamount.[1] It is defined as decrease in the volume of amniotic fluid,relative to the gestational age. Its incidence is 1: 750.[2]Oligohyramnios is associated with increased perinatal morbidity andmortality. Complications include abnormal attitude, presentation,pulmonary hypoplasia, fetal skeletal and facial abnormalities, IUGRand foetal distress. All these complications results in higher rates ofobstetrician intervention like induction of labour and ceasareandelivery which increases maternal risks as well. Currently, thetreatment modalities include amnioinfusion which is costly and notfeasible for everyone and also associated with serious side-effects. So there is a wide scope tomanage such cases conservatively and safely by ayurvedic treatment and diet.
