The current standard of living is good, but strange symptoms are also increasing. Many people still cannot conceive a normal fetus, such as glucose, which is a very dangerous fetus. So, what causes molar pregnancy? Let me introduce it below.
What causes molar pregnancy?
A molar pregnancy is caused by the proliferation of trophoblast cells and edema of the villi interstitium, which turns the villi into water bubbles of varying sizes, connected by fine peduncles like clusters of grapes. However, it has little ability to erode the surrounding area and only causes slight damage locally, hence it is also known as a vesicular mass. Vesicular degeneration with multiple waves and placenta, resulting in no placenta or visible fetus, is called complete molar pregnancy. If some placental villi undergo vesicular degeneration, the placenta can be preserved partially, and even the fetus can survive, it is called partial molar pregnancy. The cause of molar pregnancy is not yet fully understood, and may be related to nutritional, infectious, genetic, and immune mechanism disorders.
The clinical characteristics of molar pregnancy mainly include:
1. Amenorrhea often lasts for 2-3 months or longer.
2. Vaginal bleeding is a clear manifestation of molar pregnancy, often intermittent, with a small initial amount and gradually increasing amount thereafter, with intermittent episodes. Patients often have varying degrees of anemia. Massive bleeding and even shock may occur before the spontaneous expulsion of molar pregnancy. Sometimes blister like substances can be seen in the expelled blood clots.
3. Abnormal enlargement of the uterus is not consistent with gestational injuries. The uterus is soft and the lower segment is full, and the fetal body cannot be felt or heard. The patient also has no fetal movement.
4. Abdominal pain is caused by the rapid enlargement of the uterus, which stimulates contractions or bloating of the uterus.
5. Early pregnancy symptoms such as edema, hypertension, and proteinuria appear earlier due to severe early pregnancy reactions.
What are the complications of molar pregnancy
1. If not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, severe bleeding in molar pregnancy can lead to repeated bleeding, accumulation of blood in the uterine cavity, causing blood loss, and may also occur during natural discharge. On the basis of anemia, hemorrhagic shock or even death may occur. Therefore, molar pregnancy should be treated as an emergency, and short-term delay may cause more blood loss and harm the patient.
2. Incomplete miscarriage of molar pregnancy. After natural abortion or suction curettage, there may be residual vesicular fetal masses. For patients with molar pregnancy who have had a natural abortion for a short period of time before admission and can withstand curettage surgery, immediate curettage should be performed. For those who have been discharged for a long time or have signs of infection, antibiotics should be used for mutual control for several days before curettage.
Based on the previous review, I believe everyone has already understood the causes of molar pregnancy. Although molar pregnancy has always been a very dangerous fetus, not everyone will have molar pregnancy, so there is no need to be too nervous. Just pay more attention to preventing molar pregnancy in daily life.
