The original picture of a molar pregnancy is terrifying
In the medical field, hydatidiform mole is a relatively special disease. The original picture of mole is often described as scary, but this is more because of people’s limitations and fear of this disease. In fact, by in-depth understanding of the pathological characteristics of mole, we can better understand its treatment and treatment. prevention. Next, the pathological characteristics of hydatidiform mole are introduced from four aspects.
Pathogenology
Hydatidiform mole is a highly reactive trophoblastic disease. In in vitro culture experiments, cell pairs composed of mole tissue can be cultured to observe their growth and division. In addition, the patient also had a high degree of trophoblastic proliferation in the peripheral blood. Research shows that the main causes of molar pregnancy are progesterone and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Progesterone and hCG promote cell growth and division, leading to molar pregnancy.
Histology
Histologically, the main characteristic of molar pregnancy is abnormal growth and development of placental tissue. In a normal pregnancy, the placenta develops from basal cells in the embryo. As the pregnancy progresses, the placenta will develop into a complete organ. In the case of a molar pregnancy, the cells at the base no longer develop into the placenta, but instead form an abnormal grape-like structure. These grape-like structures contain a large number of trophoblast cells and a small amount of embryonic tissue. These trophoblast cells should be controlled by embryonic tissue under normal circumstances, but they are out of control in mole pregnancy.
Imaging
The imaging characteristics of hydatidiform mole are very obvious. Under B-ultrasound, abnormal grape-like structures in the uterine cavity can be seen, which are shaped like grape clusters composed of countless small vesicles. These grape-like structures are usually densely distributed near the anaplastic zone of the embryo, and the structure of the embryo cannot be observed by B-ultrasound. In addition, in the case of hydatidiform mole, abnormal cell proliferation increases the pressure in the uterine cavity, resulting in the enlargement and morphological changes of the uterine cavity seen in images.
Clinical manifestations
The clinical manifestations of hydatidiform mole are mainly vaginal bleeding in the first trimester. Abnormal growth in the uterus and excessive secretion of progesterone and hCG lead to damage and tearing of the endometrium, resulting in vaginal bleeding. Severe bleeding can cause hypotension and shock in the patient and require immediate attention. In addition, hydatidiform mole is also accompanied by relaxation and opening of the cervical canal, and sometimes infection in the uterine cavity.
Conclusion
Through the above introduction, we can have a more comprehensive understanding of the pathological characteristics of mole pregnancy. Although the original picture of hydatidiform mole is scary, it is more because of the complexity of the disease and its impact on the body. Understanding the pathological characteristics of hydatidiform mole can better prevent and treat this disease and play a more important clinical role. Finally, we would like to remind all female friends to pay attention to the physical changes in early pregnancy, stay vigilant about bleeding, and seek medical treatment in time if any problems are found.
