Is hydatidiform mole painful?

Hydatidiform mole is a disease that occurs in the embryonic position of the somatic cells. It is also called pregnancy trophoblastic disease. Its shape is that in most cases there is no fetus in the uterine cavity, only small blister-like tissue. When a pregnant woman becomes pregnant, the whole family is very happy. However, some pregnant women may experience some special conditions after pregnancy.

I wonder how many people know about hydatidiform mole, because the term hydatidiform mole is really far from ordinary pregnant women. Whether hydatidiform mole is a freak or not, whether it is possible to give birth within 2 years after being diagnosed with hydatidiform mole, and these questions also confuse some patients with hydatidiform mole. Let's talk about hydatidiform mole today.

1. What is hydatidiform mole?

The special connective tissue in the middle of the blister-like tissue connects the blisters together, so the appearance is similar to that of red grapes, hence the name.

But it is not a freak baby, but a disease caused by the mutation of some tissues of the test tube embryo. Hydatidiform mole is divided into partial hydatidiform mole and complete hydatidiform mole. Some molar pregnancies contain fetuses, but complete molar pregnancies contain only molar tissue and no fetal tissue. The exact pathogenesis of hydatidiform mole is still unclear at present, but it has little to do with grapes.

2. How does hydatidiform mole occur?

Molar pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy that often occurs in young women or older women. It can also be caused by abnormal sperm quality in men. Some people, especially the elderly, have some misunderstandings about hydatidiform mole, thinking that hydatidiform mole is a kind of freak or an evil fetus related to feudal superstition.

In fact, the incidence of hydatidiform mole is quite high among the yellow race. The key cause of hydatidiform mole is the sudden change of genetic genes in the egg cell during the combination of sperm and egg. Generally, hydatidiform mole is a benign hydatidiform mole, which is usually not easy to deteriorate and migrate. It is just that the small blister caused by somatic cell proliferation grows too quickly.

3. How should it be treated after being diagnosed with hydatidiform mole?

When hydatidiform mole is detected, the first thing to do is to clear the uterus as soon as possible to eliminate the disease and use air pressure to evacuate the uterus. No curettage is required. Generally, two uterine cleanings are required. During the second curettage, a small amount of blisters can usually be seen with the naked eye. Therefore, this proves that a second curettage after hydatidiform mole is a necessary behavior.

However, it is generally not recommended to perform a third time. Unless another curettage is necessary, it is best not to do it, because repeated operations will always increase the risk of infection and may even cause the remaining erythema to spread too much. The treatment of hydatidiform mole first requires the removal of foreign bodies in the uterine cavity, and during the removal process, attention should be paid to preventing internal bleeding and protecting the uterine wall.

If the patient is older, protective radiotherapy should be given to alert the lesions. For patients who have no fertility requirements and are accompanied by a worsening trend, hysterectomy should be performed.
