A molar pregnancy is the result of an abnormality that occurs during fertilization where the chromosomes from the mother and father become mixed or the mothers chromosomes are absent all together. When this occurs, the placenta becomes a mass of cysts without a fetus attached. Sometimes fetal tissue is identified but the result of the fetus is a mass placenta rather than a fetus.
What else can I help you with?
What is the cause of a molar pregnancy?
A molar pregnancy is an abnormally fertilized egg. Molar pregnancies occur when the fertilized egg does not have any of the mother's chromosones, or the father's chromosones duplicate.
Can ultrasound differentiate molar pregnancy and fibroid?
Yes it can!
If you had a molar pregnancy before could you still have kids?
I had a molar pregnancy and my doctor recommended to wait at least one year to try again. Then I had a miscarriage and after that, I had two more kids.
What is the cpt code for dilation and curettage of a molar pregnancy?

What are the key differences between molar pregnancy partial vs complete, and how do they impact the diagnosis and treatment of this condition?
Molar pregnancy is a rare condition where abnormal tissue grows in the uterus instead of a normal pregnancy. The key difference between partial and complete molar pregnancies lies in the genetic makeup of the abnormal tissue. In partial molar pregnancies, there is an abnormal fetus with some normal placental tissue, while in complete molar pregnancies, there is no fetus and all the tissue is abnormal. Diagnosis of molar pregnancy is typically done through ultrasound and blood tests to measure hormone levels. Treatment usually involves removing the abnormal tissue through a procedure called dilation and curettage (DC). In complete molar pregnancies, there is a higher risk of complications such as persistent trophoblastic disease, which may require additional treatment like chemotherapy. Partial molar pregnancies have a lower risk of complications compared to complete molar pregnancies.
Why would you get a positive Pregnancy test and an inconclusive ultrasound test and your HCG level be more than doubling over the course of two days?
it might be a molar pregnancy
What are the potential risks and complications associated with a complete molar pregnancy?
Potential risks and complications of a complete molar pregnancy include persistent trophoblastic disease, which may require chemotherapy, and the development of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia, a type of cancer. Other risks include hemorrhage, infection, and the possibility of the molar tissue becoming invasive or spreading to other organs. Close monitoring and medical intervention are crucial to manage these risks.
How soon after dc for molar pregnancy will you stop having pregnancy symptoms?
Depending how far along you were, it could take a while for the HCG and the progesterone to come down. You could experience symptoms until that happens.
What is a hard lump forming below the main gum-line but below a molar that had caused pain but was not treated and now only tingles and could it be related to your pregnancy?
Some changes to a womans pregnancy can be related to pregnancy but its best to see your doctor or dentist to be certain. Take care.
Yolk sac with no baby with hcg level of 8000?
Could possibly be a case of a complete molar/partial molar pregnancy. With a complete molar there will be no baby and the hcg levels rise very rapidly and can get to a very high number. With partial molar, there will be a baby but the tissues began to grow and the pregnancy is no viable. The fetus will stop growing and the tissues will continue to grow and the hcg levels continue to rise at a rapid pace as well. This will require a d&c and hcg levels must be monitored after until they reach zero. This could take some time and in some cases further treatment is needed.
What if you have a very small empty gestational sac at 6 weeks and 2500 hcg?
It is possible that you may have a molar pregnancy. You should see your doctor for more information.
