Botrytis is a disease caused by the formation of trophoblast cells in the placental villi. Due to the formation of blisters of varying sizes, resembling clusters of grapes, this disease is medically named molar. Generally, molar pregnancy is divided into complete and partial types. Women with molar pregnancy can have a significant impact on their health, so who is prone to having molar pregnancy.
Who is prone to having a molar pregnancy
1. Previously suffered from molar pregnancy. For those who have had this condition before, the probability of developing a molar pregnancy is also high, and they are prone to invasive molar pregnancy and choriocarcinoma.
2. Poor nutrition. This is a major factor contributing to the occurrence of molar pregnancy, and it is more likely for women to develop molar pregnancy than the general population.
3. Pregnant women who are too old or too young. These age groups are prone to developing molar pregnancy, mainly due to immature or unhealthy eggs.
Symptoms of molar pregnancy
1. Having amenorrhea for 2-3 months or longer is similar to pregnancy.
2. Vaginal bleeding is a manifestation of natural miscarriage of molar pregnancy, usually starting 2-3 months after amenorrhea. It is mostly intermittent small bleeding, during which there may be repeated heavy bleeding, and blister like substances may be found in the blood.
3. Symptoms of pregnancy poisoning include severe vomiting after menopause, followed by hypertension, edema, and proteinuria later on.
4. Hemoptysis, some patients may have hemoptysis or blood in sputum.
5. Physical examination shows a soft abdomen with no fetal sensation, and auscultation shows no fetal sound. The ultrasound examination showed a snowflake like image but no fetal image.
Treatment methods for molar pregnancy
1. Clear the contents of the uterine cavity using suction curettage, which is fast and causes minimal bleeding. It is best to use low negative pressure and choose a large suction tube when suctioning the uterus to prevent uterine perforation and blockage by molar tissue, which may affect the operation. Scraping surgery can replace it.
2. Preventive chemotherapy. This method is mainly aimed at high-risk patients.
3. Hysterectomy is mainly applied to patients over 40 years old who have no fertility requirements.
4. Treatment of flavin cysts.
5. The treatment of severe preeclampsia with molar pregnancy involves controlling heart failure, sedation, blood pressure reduction, and diuresis. After the condition stabilizes, curettage can be performed.
Once a woman discovers the above symptoms, she should consider the possibility of having a molar pregnancy. It is recommended to immediately go to the hospital for examination and adopt reasonable treatment methods based on the severity of each woman's symptoms, age, and fertility requirements. However, it should be noted that there is still a possibility of malignancy after the molar pregnancy is scraped off. Therefore, regular follow-up examinations and follow ups should be conducted within two years after surgery.
