Patient's question:
I got a molar pregnancy in August and now I'm pregnant again. What should I do? The reason is that I didn't take precautions.Doctor's answer:
After a molar evacuation, it is recommended to avoid pregnancy for at least six months, preferably for one year, to prevent difficulty in distinguishing between a subsequent pregnancy and molar transformation. It is advised to consider pregnancy only after the body has fully recovered. Before planning a pregnancy, both partners should undergo comprehensive medical examinations.It is generally best to have a follow-up check after the menstrual period, with both partners being examined simultaneously. Blood HCG levels should be tested, and an ultrasound should be performed to ensure the fetus is developing normally. If the development is normal, the pregnancy can proceed. Molar pregnancy is benign, so there is no need to be overly concerned. Remember to undergo a Down syndrome screening and a color Doppler ultrasound to rule out any fetal abnormalities.
