    Partial Mole or Complete Mole: Pathophysiology of Molar Pregnancy

    Uploaded by

    Kristian Karl Bautista Kiw-is
    Molar pregnancy is caused by abnormal proliferation of trophoblast cells leading to cystic swelling of chorionic villi and absence of embryonic development. This results in high levels of hCG and progesterone that can cause nausea, vomiting, hyperthyroidism, and preeclampsia-like symptoms. Treatment involves suction curettage or D&C to remove the abnormal placental tissue. Risk factors include extremes of reproductive age, Asian descent, blood type A married to blood type O, and low protein or vitamin A intake.
