Management
Diagnostic studies:
Quantitative B-hCG
Transvaginal Ultrasound
Dilation and suction curettage
IV oxytocin should be administered
Follow-up for development of GTT
hCG determinations (48 hours, 3 consecutive weeks, every 6
months, and then yearly)
PE (Pelvic exam at regular intervals)
Birth control (1 year- OCP, Depo Provera)
Discussion
H-mole
Molar pregnancy is characterized histologically by
abnormalities of the chorionic villi that consist of
trophoblastic proliferation and edema of villous
stroma
2 forms: Complete & Partial
Discussion
COMPLETE
1.Hydropic degeneration and swelling
of the villous stroma
2. Absence of blood vessels in the
swollen villi.
3. Proliferation of the trophoblastic
epithelium to a varying degree
4. Absence of fetus and amnion.
Management
Dilatation and Suction curettage
bHCG monitoring
