Wondering what a molar pregnancy is

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Gestational trophoblastic disease, also known as hydatidiform mole, can affect women of reproductive age, and it is most common in pregnant women aged 20-30. The exact cause of this disease is still unclear, but it is generally believed to be related to factors such as nutritional deficiencies (especially folic acid deficiency), infections (particularly viral infections), genetics, and immune system dysfunction.
