The lack of water during pregnancy has a negative impact on the health of the mother, complicates the course of childbirth. However, untreated bacterial infections of the woman herself, which penetrate the placental layer, are often to blame for the appearance of pathology. Bypassing the protective barrier of the placenta, pathogens infect the fetus and amniotic fluid. Bacterial infections account for 40% of all causes of oligohydramnios. The infection enters the fetal bladder through the cervical and vaginal cavities.
The rupture of the membranes of the fetal bladder provokes the "leakage" of amniotic fluid when they are evacuated in parts. If a woman notices a constant outflow of clear fluid from the vagina, an obstetrician-gynecologist should be urgently informed about this. Premature discharge of water threatens pregnancy and the health of a woman. With such a clinical picture, immediate hospitalization is indicated.
Oligohydramnios during pregnancy negatively affects the process of delivery, since labor does not occur or is poorly expressed. This is due to the lack of a brain command that does not fix a full-term pregnancy due to the small size of the uterus. If the commands of the brain do not come to the uterus, it does not contract. In obstetric practice, eight out of ten women in labor have weak labor activity due to oligohydramnios.
