The harm of hydatidiform mole to human body

The harm of hydatidiform mole to the human body is that it may cause uterine bleeding, infertility, invasive hydatidiform mole or malignant choriocarcinoma, which poses a serious threat to women's reproductive health and life safety. Therefore, once diagnosed, medical treatment should be sought as soon as possible. Hydatidiform mole is a pregnancy-related disease, a gestational trophoblastic disease, usually caused by abnormal embryonic development or chromosomal abnormalities.

Molar pregnancy can cause a series of physiological problems, the most common of which is irregular uterine bleeding, which often occurs in early pregnancy, is dark in color, and has a large or small amount and recurring. Some patients will also experience persistent pregnancy reactions, such as severe vomiting, abdominal pain, and abnormal enlargement of the uterus. If not treated in time, the molar pregnancy may invade the deep layer of the uterine wall, causing an invasive molar pregnancy. In severe cases, it may even enter the bloodstream and metastasize to the lungs or brain, forming malignant choriocarcinoma. If villous tissue remains after the molar pregnancy removal surgery, it may cause infection, affect women's reproductive health, and increase the risk of future infertility and ectopic pregnancy.

For the treatment of hydatidiform mole, uterine curettage or aspiration is usually used to completely remove abnormal tissue in the uterine cavity. β-hCG testing is required after surgery to monitor whether there is residual disease or recurrence. If it develops into invasive hydatidiform mole or choriocarcinoma, chemotherapy drugs such as methotrexate (MTX) combined with fluorouracil (5-FU) may be required. In severe cases, hysterectomy may be required to protect life safety. To protect fertility, please follow the doctor's advice to practice contraception for 1-2 years after surgery to restore uterine function, and have regular follow-up visits to monitor your physical condition.

Preventing hydatidiform mole requires attention to prenatal checkups, especially to avoid endometrial damage caused by advanced pregnancy and continuous miscarriage. During pregnancy, attention should be paid to regular ultrasound screening for abnormalities. If uterine enlargement is found to be inconsistent with the time of amenorrhea or unexplained bleeding, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Postoperative review and psychological adjustment are also essential to ensure healthy recovery and safe preparation for pregnancy in the future.
