Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. It is difficult to diagnose the reason for Oligohydramnios in your case, as there is no gross anomalies. But I suggest you to wait till 19 weeks and get a ANOMALY SCAN and repeat the liquor volume. Meanwhile you can drink lot of water, juices, you can also take arginine powder after consulting your OBGY specialist.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.
