Patient's question:
For several years after getting married, she had not been able to get pregnant. Finally, she became pregnant, but it was a molar pregnancy. What causes molar pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Gestational trophoblastic disease is a benign trophoblastic cell disorder. Its causes are associated with factors such as malnutrition, viral infection, racial factors, endocrine dysfunction of the ovaries, and abnormal intergenerational cellular inheritance. Vaginal bleeding is the most common clinical symptom of gestational trophoblastic disease. Most patients experience irregular vaginal bleeding again about 12 weeks after menopause, starting with a small amount and gradually increasing in volume over time, intermittent bleeding, and sometimes passing grape-like clusters. Additionally, symptoms such as abnormal uterine shrinkage and severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy with abdominal pain may also occur.
