Amnioreduction is a medical procedure used to remove excess amniotic fluid from the womb in cases of polyhydramnios (too much amniotic fluid). It helps reduce complications for both the mother and baby during pregnancy.
Doctors may recommend Amnioreduction when an ultrasound shows an abnormally high level of amniotic fluid that could lead to preterm labor, maternal discomfort, or fetal distress.
Yes. When performed by an experienced fetal medicine specialist under ultrasound guidance, Amnioreduction is generally safe. Continuous monitoring ensures the safety of both the mother and baby throughout the procedure.
A thin, sterile needle is gently inserted through the mother’s abdomen into the amniotic sac under real-time ultrasound guidance. Excess fluid is slowly withdrawn to restore normal fluid levels and relieve symptoms.
Typically, the procedure takes about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the amount of fluid that needs to be removed. Afterward, both the mother and baby are monitored for a few hours.
Minor risks include mild cramping, temporary fluid leakage, or rarely, infection or preterm labor. At add-on Scans & Labs, our experts follow strict safety protocols to minimize all potential risks.
Before the procedure, you may be asked to undergo an ultrasound scan and basic blood tests. You should also eat light meals, stay hydrated, and discuss any medications you are taking with your doctor.
After the procedure, you’ll be monitored for a few hours for any contractions or fluid leakage. Most patients return home the same day with advice for rest and a follow-up ultrasound to check fluid levels.
Yes, in some cases, the fluid may accumulate again, especially if the underlying cause of polyhydramnios persists. Your doctor may recommend repeat Amnioreduction or further evaluation.
