Molar pregnancy, a rare condition, occurs when abnormal tissue forms in the uterus instead of a viable foetus. Complications include vaginal bleeding, severe nausea, and potential development of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, requiring surgical removal and chemotherapy for treatment.

It's crucial for early detection and management through regular prenatal care, allowing for appropriate treatment and follow-up care to ensure the woman's health and well-being.
Untreated molar pregnancies pose significant risks, such as:
Timely medical intervention is vital. It ensures proper management, lowers complication risks and enhances patient outcomes. Immediate medical attention is crucial for symptoms like vaginal bleeding or severe nausea.
Molar pregnancies are divided into two distinct types: complete and partial.
Complete Molar Pregnancy
Complete molar pregnancies result from a sperm fertilising an unfertilized egg, preventing embryo development. Abnormal placental tissue with fluid-filled cysts forms, producing pregnancy hormone HCG. Despite no viable embryo, HCG production can mimic pregnancy symptoms and yield positive test results.
Partial Molar Pregnancy
A partial molar pregnancy is distinguished by the formation of an abnormal placenta alongside an embryo, where two sperm fertilise a single egg. In such instances, the developing embryo possesses an additional set of chromosomes. Although the embryo may initiate development, its ability to survive is generally compromised.
A molar pregnancy can’t develop into a normal pregnancy, necessitating treatment to avert complications. This news can be difficult to accept after the initial excitement of a positive pregnancy test. However, with proper treatment, the prospect of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby remains attainable. Treatment options include:
Aftercare involves blood tests and monitoring to ensure complete removal of molar tissue. Rare cases may require further treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation.
The cost of a molar pregnancy treatment varies as per the specific type of treatment advised by a healthcare provider, such as:
The cost can also vary widely depending on several factors, including the location, the extent of the treatment, the doctor’s experience, and the hospital's pricing structure.

A molar pregnancy, also known as gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD), is an abnormality of the placenta where a non-viable fertilised egg implants in the uterus. It results in abnormal tissue growth instead of a normal foetus.
Symptoms include vaginal bleeding, severe nausea and vomiting, rapid uterine growth, high blood pressure, and the presence of grape-like clusters in the uterus.
