What are the examination methods for hydatidiform mole?

Molar pregnancy, many female friends heard about it for the first time, and some people think that molar pregnancy is a good sign and they will have a different child in the future. In fact, molar pregnancy is a gynecological disease that is not only harmful to the mother, but also affects the normal development of the fetus. So, is there any way to detect whether you have molar pregnancy?

1. HCG determination:

Due to the proliferation of trophoblastic cells, a large amount of HCG is produced in hydatidiform mole. The HCG concentration in serum is much higher than the corresponding month value of normal pregnancy. Therefore, this difference can be used as an auxiliary diagnosis of hydatidiform mole. Since the peak of HCG secretion in normal pregnancy is within the 60th to 70th day, it may be the same as the onset time of hydatidiform mole, making diagnosis difficult. If HCG or B-ultrasound examination can be performed at the same time, identification can be made.

2. Flow cytometry FCM:

The karyotype of complete hydatidiform mole is diploid, while that of partial hydatidiform mole is triploid.

3. Ultrasound examination:

In normal pregnancy, the gestational sac can be seen at 4-5 weeks of pregnancy, the heart beat can be seen at 6-7 weeks of pregnancy, the fetal heart rate can be detected as early as 6 weeks of pregnancy, and the fetal heart rate can be heard after 12 weeks of pregnancy. The uterine cavity of hydatidiform mole presents a coarse dot or snow-shaped image, without gestational sac, fetal structure and fetal heart beat signs, only uterine blood flow murmur can be heard, and the fetal heart rate cannot be heard.

Having a healthy child is one of the happiness standards of every family, but the appearance of hydatidiform mole makes many parents worry. In addition to regular physical examinations, pregnant women should also learn more about hydatidiform mole and actively take preventive and nursing measures to provide a healthy growth environment for the baby.
