What is hydatidiform mole and its causes?
Hydatidiform mole is a gynecological disease, which is a sac tumor formed due to abnormal development of fertilized eggs. It fails to form the placenta due to abnormal development of the embryonic body, placental abnormalities occur during pregnancy, and the fetus cannot develop normally during delivery. Hydatidiform mole is caused by abnormal chromosome division after fertilization of the sperm and egg, mainly due to the sperm carrying one or two extra chromosomes. In addition, some moles are caused by embryonic body malformations, abnormal DNA mutations in fertilized eggs, and other factors.
The dangers and symptoms of molar pregnancy
A molar pregnancy may cause a large amount of progesterone secretion, leading to toxic symptoms during pregnancy, including vomiting, headache, fatigue and dizziness. In addition, due to abnormal growth of embryonic tissue, molar pregnancy may also pose a threat to uterine health, leading to uterine rupture, massive bleeding, etc. A molar pregnancy that is not treated for a long time may also invade other body organs and endanger life. In terms of symptom presentation, molar pregnancy is usually accompanied by symptoms such as irregular vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain, uterine enlargement, nausea and drowsiness.
How to prevent molar pregnancy?
For pregnant women, to prevent molar pregnancy, they must first pay attention to pre-pregnancy health care, maintain good physical fitness, and avoid adverse stimuli such as shock, fatigue, and infection. In early pregnancy, the concentration of ovarian interferon, gonadotropin, progesterone and other hormones is very important for the development of the fetus. If hormone secretion is abnormal, it may lead to abnormal development of the embryo. In addition, if you have a history of molar pregnancy, it is recommended to use artificial insemination and other medical methods to reduce the risk of inducing mole again.
How to treat molar pregnancy
For patients who have developed a molar pregnancy, advanced treatment options are required, including surgery, medication, and adjuvant therapy. In the early stages of molar pregnancy, if the condition is not serious, surgery can be performed to remove the abnormal blastocyst from the uterus. If the situation is more complicated, it is recommended to use drug treatment, injecting Methotrexate into the patient to help eliminate abnormal embryonic tissue. After handling a molar pregnancy, which requires informed consent for diagnosis, most patients will choose to get pregnant again.
Summary
Hydatidiform mole is a gynecological disease, which is a sac tumor formed due to abnormal development of fertilized eggs. It may pose a great threat to body organs and life safety, so active prevention and treatment are required. In terms of preventing molar pregnancy, attention should be paid to pre-pregnancy health care, maintaining good physical fitness, and avoiding infections and other problems; in terms of treatment, it is necessary to eliminate abnormal tissues through a variety of medical means to ensure the health of the patient. Treatment options for hydatidiform mole vary, and individualized treatment plans should be developed based on different situations.
