How to prevent hydatidiform mole

How to prevent hydatidiform mole?

There are two factors that are prone to hydatidiform mole, namely the mother's age and pregnancy history. In terms of age, mothers under 20 years old and over 40 years old are 5-9 times more likely to get pregnant than mothers aged 21-35 years old. Mothers over 40 years old are more at risk than mothers under 20 years old. The father's age has no effect. In terms of pregnancy history, mothers who have had more than two consecutive miscarriages are 32 times more likely to have hydatidiform mole than normal mothers, that is, mothers who have had consecutive miscarriages are more likely to have hydatidiform mole.

General measures to prevent hydatidiform mole are as follows:

1. Maintain a good mood and emotions to improve disease resistance.

2. Avoid heavy physical labor and appropriate activities. After discharge, patients can do some physical activities according to their physical condition, such as walking, jogging, Tai Chi, etc., and do some housework to get rid of fatigue unconsciously and ensure adequate sleep.

3. It is forbidden to have sex and take a bath within one month. Normal sexual life is encouraged after hydatidiform mole, and contraception is required for at least 2 years, and strict contraception for 1 year - it is best to use condoms for 2 years, and do not use intrauterine devices and oral contraceptives. It is difficult to distinguish between pregnancy and malignant transformation again. Condoms and vaginal diaphragms should be used for contraception.

4. Regular follow-up. All patients with hydatidiform mole should be recommended for regular follow-up. It is best to contact the hospital for a long time. More importantly, the purpose of regular follow-up within 2 days is to detect malignant changes early, but sometimes there may be residual vesicular fetal masses. Pregnancy test is very important in follow-up. After the hydatidiform mole is completely cleared, about 60% of the above patients' pregnancy tests turn negative within 30 days. Patients who are still positive for more than 40 days should be highly suspected of malignant changes or still have vesicular fetal masses.

5. In addition to asking whether the menstruation is normal, you should also pay attention to the above symptoms. During the examination, you should pay attention to whether the uterus has recovered well, whether there are purple-blue nodules in the vagina and vulva, and whether there are shadows on the chest.
