Abstract

Objective: To describe the clinical and subclinical characteristics of pregnant women with polyhydramnios requiring treatment at the Hanoi Obstetric and Gynecology Hospital. At the same time, evaluate the effecs of amnioreduction technique to reduce amniotic fluid when treating polyhydramnios. Materials and methods: The retrospective and prospective cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 30 cases of polyhydramnios patients who treated by amnioreduction at the Hanoi Obstetric and Gynecology Hospital from 1/2022 to 10/2023. Results: Polyhydramnios mostly occurs in twin pregnancies, primarily due to Twin-to-Twin Transfusion Syndrome, while idiopathic polyhydramnios is rare. Amnioreduction has been shown to significantly improve symptoms in pregnant women and delay labor until the fetus is viable.
