What is partial hydatidiform mole?

If there is excessive proliferation of placental villi, it is easy to cause hydatidiform mole. Hydatidiform mole is very harmful to women's bodies, has a high recurrence rate, and is relatively difficult to treat. Generally, women with hydatidiform mole will stop menstruating and then start irregular vaginal bleeding. If not treated in time, it may cause shock or even death. In addition, a large proportion of patients with hydatidiform mole experience abdominal pain. Here is some information about partial hydatidiform mole.

Partial hydatidiform mole: Only part of the placental villi undergo vesicular degeneration, and there is still a living or dead embryo in the uterine cavity. In the tissues of spontaneous abortion, 40% of patients were found to have certain vesicular degeneration, but they were not diagnosed as hydatidiform mole. In most hydatidiform moles, the placental villous tissue has basically all turned into hydatidiform mole tissue, but in a few hydatidiform moles, only part of the placental villous tissue has turned into hydatidiform mole. The former is called complete hydatidiform mole, and the latter is called partial hydatidiform mole. The cause of hydatidiform mole is currently unknown. Studies have found that the occurrence of hydatidiform mole is related to nutritional status, socioeconomic status and age. According to the pathological characteristics, hydatidiform mole can be divided into benign and malignant.

If a partial hydatidiform mole is present, the clinical manifestation is amenorrhea. In most cases, vaginal bleeding occurs during the second or third month of amenorrhea, or later in some cases. The amount of blood may be more or less, and may be intermittent. In most cases, it is possible that the uterus is larger than in the month of amenorrhea. When the uterus reaches the size of four or five months of gestation, the pregnant woman cannot feel the fetal movement, touch the fetal mass, or hear the fetal heartbeat. Careful examination of vaginal bleeding, if vesicular masses are found, can be diagnosed as hydatidiform mole. Whether it is a partial hydatidiform mole requires further examination.

In fact, most hydatidiform mole can be detected as long as it is checked in time. Four to five weeks after pregnancy, you can go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. At this time, if you have a hydatidiform mole, it can be diagnosed, and if you take active treatment measures, you can get effective treatment. The three typical symptoms of amenorrhea, irregular vaginal bleeding and enlarged uterus can be used to preliminarily diagnose hydatidiform mole.
