How is hydatidiform mole detected?

I believe that many female friends have heard doctors talk about hydatidiform mole after they become pregnant. If it is not treated properly, it will cause great harm to the pregnant woman and the fetus. What examinations should patients with hydatidiform mole undergo? Let's take a look at its related content:

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.

The above is some relevant content about what examinations patients with hydatidiform mole should do. I hope these can bring some useful help to friends. If you have symptoms related to hydatidiform mole in your life, you must go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
