Patient's question:
When I was two months pregnant, I had an induced abortion. It was only during the procedure that I found out it was a molar pregnancy. It is said that molar pregnancies have a high risk of turning into cancer and are prone to recurrence. I want to know what I should do?Doctor's answer:
If it is found after the crowd that it is a molar pregnancy, it is necessary to have a second D&C procedure. After the D&C for molar pregnancy patients, follow-up must be irregular. HCG measurement, after the evacuation of the molar pregnancy, once a week until it decreases to normal levels. Then, once a week for the next 3 months, every 2 weeks for the following 3 months, and once a month thereafter, continuing for at least one year. If not pregnant in the second year, it can be every 6 months, for a total of two years of follow-up.
