Molar Pregnancy Treatment
A molar pregnancy, also known as a hydatidiform mole, is a rare complication of pregnancy where abnormal tissue forms inside the uterus instead of a viable embryo. It is a serious medical condition that requires immediate diagnosis and treatment to prevent life-threatening complications, such as excessive bleeding or the development of a rare cancer called gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN).

Diagnosis and Treatment Options
Diagnosis for Molar Pregnancy
Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for managing molar pregnancy. At YNB Health Care, we utilize advanced diagnostic methods, including:
- Blood Tests: Assessing hCG levels, which are significantly higher in cases of molar pregnancy.
- Transvaginal Ultrasound: Generating detailed images of the uterus to detect abnormal tissue and cysts.
- Urine Tests: Evaluating hCG levels and confirming the presence of molar tissue.
These diagnostic tools help identify the severity and stage of the molar pregnancy, allowing our specialists to create a tailored treatment plan.
Treatment Options for Molar Pregnancy
Medical Treatment
In cases where the molar pregnancy is detected early, medication such as Methotrexate is administered to terminate the pregnancy. This option requires close monitoring of hCG levels and ultrasound imaging to ensure complete removal.
Surgical Treatment
Dilation and Curettage (D&C): A minimally invasive surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon dilates the cervix and removes molar tissue using specialized instruments.
Hysterectomy: Reserved for severe cases with high GTN risk or when future pregnancies are not desired. The procedure can be performed through laparoscopy or an open incision.
Post-treatment, patients are closely monitored to ensure complete recovery and the prevention of complications.
