Oligohydramnios refers to low amniotic fluid levels during pregnancy. Adequate amniotic fluid is essential for the baby’s movement, lung development and overall growth. When fluid levels drop, it becomes a high-risk condition requiring specialized care. For mothers in Panvel, New Panvel, Kamothe, Kalamboli, Kharghar, Taloja and Navi Mumbai, early detection and timely management of oligohydramnios are crucial for a safe pregnancy.

Sutika Gruha Multispeciality Hospital, Panvel, is a trusted centre for high-risk pregnancy management, offering accurate diagnosis, fetal monitoring and 24×7 maternity support.

Oligohydramnios occurs when the amniotic fluid index (AFI) falls below normal levels. This can happen at any stage of pregnancy, but becomes more concerning during the third trimester.

Our hospital is recognised for providing oligohydramnios treatment in Panvel, using advanced scanning and monitoring technologies.
