Hydatidiform Mole - Symptom, Causes, Treatment of Hydatidiform Mole
Hydatidiform Mole is a tumour of the placenta which
constitutes
during a pregnancy. The foetus does not
germinate frequently when this happens. Ahydatidiform mole
appears
in about 1 in 2000 pregnancies. Abnormal growth of the
placenta
exhibit
multiple cysts which resemble a
cluster
of grapes. The situation may not become
apparent
until after the third month of pregnancy. Vaginal bleeding is the
general
symptom, and sometimes several of the grape-like cysts may bepassed.
Occasionally the woman has
embellished
pregnancy symptoms (nausea, breast tenderness and
inordinate
enlargement of the uterus) due to
exuberant
placental hormone in the blood. These symptoms
actuate
ultrasound examination, that revealsthe mole. It is
withdraw
from the uterus by scraping (curettage) or suction.
Hydatidiform mole is
normally beneficent, but
provident
post-treatment follow-up by gynaecological examinations and blood tests (to
observe
persisting placental hormone) is
forever
suggested
because of the small chance which fragments of the mole may
persist
and continue to grow or
germinate
into cancer of the placenta.
