What to eat if there is too much amniotic fluid

Excessive amniotic fluid has a great impact on the fetus and can easily cause fetal malformations. At this time, it can be improved through certain dietary adjustments. Eat more low-salt foods and more foods with diuretic and diuretic effects. For people with more severe amniotic fluid, some oral diuretics can be used for good treatment. In addition, certain Chinese medicine prescriptions can be used for conditioning and treatment.

If a pregnant woman has excessive amniotic fluid, she needs to pay attention to a low-salt diet and take oral diuretics such as hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg once a day.

In clinical practice, Chinese medicine often uses the classic prescription "Carp Soup" from "Qian Jin Yao Fang" for treatment. The specific usage is: 1 carp, remove the internal organs, add 15g of Atractylodes macrocephala, 6g of dried tangerine peel, 15g of Poria cocos, 12g of Angelica sinensis, 12g of White Peony Root, and 6g of ginger, boil into a thick soup, remove the medicinal materials, drink the soup and eat the fish. Usually, taking 3 to 5 doses will have a significant effect. Because carp meat has the function of nourishing the spleen and stomach, promoting diuresis and reducing swelling, while Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, ginger and tangerine peel have the function of strengthening the spleen and regulating qi. Combined with Angelica sinensis and white peony root to nourish blood and stabilize the fetus, it can achieve the dual effect of removing water without harming the fetus.
