Both molar pregnancy and ectopic pregnancy are abnormal pregnancies, but women usually use early pregnancy test strips or pregnancy test sticks to test pregnancy, which can only detect whether the woman is pregnant and cannot determine whether there is an abnormal pregnancy. Therefore, some women want to know how many weeks of pregnancy can rule out molar pregnancy? Now let me give you a detailed explanation.
A molar pregnancy refers to the formation of a fertilized egg from a fertilized egg. Although the embryo successfully returns to the uterine cavity for implantation, the trophoblast cells in the placental villi undergo abnormal proliferation, resulting in high edema of the intercellular matrix and the formation of large and small blisters. Due to the interconnected nature of the blisters resembling grapes, it is called a molar pregnancy or a vesicular mass.
Women who want to rule out whether they have a molar pregnancy can generally go to the hospital for abdominal ultrasound examination and blood HCG measurement after 5 weeks of menstrual cessation for diagnosis. If no gestational sac formation, fetal bud formation, or fetal heartbeat is observed under ultrasound examination, only coarse dot or snow like images are displayed, and HCG hormone concentration is higher than the standard value, it can be diagnosed as molar pregnancy.
Once a woman is diagnosed with molar pregnancy, she should immediately undergo uterine curettage surgery. The surgical method should be suction curettage instead of curettage, as curettage is prone to uterine perforation during the operation, which is not conducive to postoperative physical recovery. After treatment of molar pregnancy, it is necessary to regularly visit the hospital for observation to avoid malignant transformation. If malignant transformation occurs, chemotherapy should be used in a timely manner.
