Polyhydramnios
Polyhydramnios is a medical condition characterised by an excessive accumulation of amniotic fluid during pregnancy. Causes include gestational diabetes, fetal anomalies, and twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome. Diagnosis typically involves ultrasound to measure amniotic fluid index. Management ranges from monitoring to amnioreduction or early delivery to mitigate potential complications for both mother and foetus.
