When the placenta forms instead of normal cysts, there is a condition called molar pregnancies.This is also called hydatidiform mole.You can't cause or prevent it because of the problems that occur during fertilization.The embryo and the placenta do not develop correctly in more extreme forms.The embryo will not be able to survive in less extreme forms, but there may be some normal tissue.It is extremely rare for a molar pregnancy to develop into cancer, so it must be treated early.
Step 1: You should wait to get pregnant if you had a previous molar pregnancy.
The risk of having a second baby is 1 to 2% if you have had one.The doctor may suggest waiting a year before trying again to get pregnant in women under the age of 20.Waiting will allow you to recover from the last one and make sure all of the tissue was removed.You have a higher risk of having another baby if you get pregnant too soon.
Step 2: Find out about molar pregnancies.
There are problems that occur during fertilization that lead to maternity.You can't prevent or cause it.A small percentage of pregnancies are molar.The genetic material from the mother's egg and the sperm are duplicated in a complete molar pregnancy.Even though the mother's genetic material is still there, the father gives twice as much as normal.If two spermfertilize one egg, this can happen.
Step 3: There are some symptoms of a pregnant woman.
If you have any of the symptoms, you should go to the doctor immediately.There are cysts in your vagina.They may be larger than grapes.During the first few months of your baby's life, you may be bleeding from your vagina.The blood could be dark brown or bright red.Bleeding is heavier if you wait to be seen by a doctor.It can be nausea or vomiting.This may be so severe that you need to be hospitalized.There is a feeling of pressure in your abdomen.
Step 4: You should get checked by a doctor.
If you have had any symptoms of a molar pregnancy, your doctor will examine you for other signs such as abnormal levels of the pregnancy hormone HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin Ovarian cysts.It's possible that you have swelling in your feet and legs.
Step 5: It's a good idea to confirm the diagnosis with an iws.
As early as eight weeks into the pregnancy, you can see a complete molar pregnancy.Sound waves are used to create a picture of the uterus and baby.If there is no embryo, no amniotic fluid, or the uterus is filled with cysts, you may have a complete molar pregnancy.The fetus may not be growing well, there is not enoughamniotic fluid around the fetus, and the placenta is thick and filled with cysts if you have a partial molar pregnancy.
Step 6: Remove the cystic tissue.
A fetus can't be developed into a viable one and must be removed.The doctor will use a technique called curettage.You will be able to go home the same day after this procedure.The doctor will insert a small vacuum through your vagina and uterus.The tissue will be removed by the vacuum.
Step 7: The doctor should be able to monitor your levels after the tissue has been removed.
If all of the tissue is gone and a cancer is developing after a molar pregnancy, the doctor will monitor your levels of human chorionic gonadotropin, which is how they can tell.You need to go to your follow up appointments.It's possible that all the cystic tissue may not have been removed if your HCG levels don't drop back to normal after treatment.Chemo and methotrexate are usually used to treat remaining cystic tissue.Side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, dizziness, and temporary hair loss.For up to a year, the doctor may want to keep an eye on your hormones.It is important that you allow your doctor to keep an eye on your HCG levels.
Step 8: Get emotional support for yourself.
Losing a fetus and worrying about the risks of cancer can have severe emotional effects.Talk to your doctor, see a counselor, get support from family and friends, and find a support group.The Molar Pregnancy Support group is one of the options.
