What is the harm of hydatidiform mole

summary

Every woman needs to have children all her life. However, when she first comes into contact with parenting, she doesn't pay much attention to her body, which leads to a kind of situation called hydatidiform mole. Let's popularize the science about the harm of hydatidiform mole.

What is the harm of hydatidiform mole

First, there is a greater chance of malignant transformation after hydatidiform mole surgery. Second, once malignant transformation occurs, it is easy to metastasize to distant organs through blood circulation. Often, the symptoms of uterine lesions have not yet appeared, but the distant organs have metastasized. Therefore, regular follow-up after curettage of hydatidiform mole is of great significance for early detection of malignant transformation, timely treatment and better treatment effect.

Second: after curettage, hCG should be measured once a week until it reaches the normal level. The first 3 months should be reviewed once a week, then 3 months, once every half a month, and then once a month should last for half a year, from every two years to every half a year, a total of two years of follow-up. During the follow-up, in addition to monitoring hCG, we should also pay attention to the corresponding symptoms of abnormal vaginal bleeding, cough, hemoptysis and metastatic organs, and carry out gynecological examination, pelvic ultrasound and chest X-ray examination.

Third: as hydatidiform mole is a disease caused by pregnancy, as long as family planning, contraceptive measures are implemented, and the number of pregnancies is reduced, hydatidiform mole can be avoided, especially for women over 40 years old, because the incidence of advanced age pregnancy is not only high, but also prone to malignant transformation.

matters needing attention

Hydatidiform mole is a benign tumor, so if it is not particularly serious, it does not need any treatment, but if it is more serious, it also needs surgery. During the two years of follow-up, we should insist on using condom or vaginal melting membrane contraception.
