Polyhydramnios, excess amniotic fluid, can cause preterm labor. Indomethacin effectively reduces amniotic fluid volume and helps prevent premature delivery after diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Perinatology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Polyhydramnios is an uncommon complication during pregnancy.
  • It is associated with increased risk of preterm labor and delivery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of indomethacin in managing polyhydramnios.
  • To assess its role in preventing preterm delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Sonographic evaluation to confirm polyhydramnios.
  • Determination of potential etiologies.
  • Treatment with indomethacin to reduce amniotic fluid volume.

Main Results:

  • Indomethacin demonstrated effectiveness in reducing amniotic fluid volume.

  • The treatment was associated with the prevention of prematurity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Indomethacin is an effective therapeutic option for managing polyhydramnios.
    • It plays a role in preventing preterm labor and delivery associated with this condition.
