Can hysteroscopy be performed for hydatidiform mole?

For the examination of hydatidiform mole, HCG measurement, flow cytometry, or ultrasound examination can be performed. For the treatment of hydatidiform mole, the contents of the uterine cavity can be cleared. The specific operation method is to perform a vacuum extraction. Either preventive chemotherapy or hysterectomy can be used for treatment. Generally speaking, hysteroscopy is not performed for hydatidiform mole.

Hydatidiform mole refers to the proliferation of trophoblastic cells of the placental villi after pregnancy, with the terminal villi transforming into blisters. The blisters are clustered together and shaped like grapes, also known as vesicular fetal masses. The true cause of the disease is unknown. Many patients who have had hydatidiform mole are most worried about recurrence and malignant transformation. In fact, the chance of hydatidiform mole becoming malignant is not high. As long as it is treated promptly, effectively and systematically, most cases can be cured. Like other diseases, this disease must be diagnosed and treated early, which can not only shorten the course of the disease and reduce malignant changes, but also facilitate normal fertility in the future.

It must be noted that after systemic treatment, you should pay attention to the hospital to conduct relevant examinations regularly to prevent accidents. According to most medical records, after the hydatidiform mole is cured, normal pregnancy and full-term delivery are possible without worrying about loss of fertility. As for when to get pregnant after recovery, it should be determined based on the specific circumstances. In the past, the principle was to get pregnant after two years of contraception, but if you are older or eager to get pregnant, the interval can be shortened to six months to a year as long as your physical condition permits and there are no signs of recurrence. However, if the interval is relatively short, you should pay attention to checking the embryo development after pregnancy so that any abnormalities can be discovered early and corresponding measures can be taken.

Under normal circumstances, if the patient is found to be relatively stable through hcg examination and the hydatidiform mole is emptied after treatment, the condition will improve. However, there are a small number of patients, such as those over 40 years old, who may relapse even after treatment of hydatidiform mole, and may also cause hyperthyroidism.
