Invasive Mole

An invasive mole, also known as a molar pregnancy, occurs when abnormal tissue grows in the uterus instead of a healthy embryo. This condition arises from fertilization issues, leading to the overgrowth of placental cells. It can cause symptoms like vaginal bleeding and an enlarged uterus. Invasive moles can also lead to more serious complications if not treated, such as the spread of abnormal cells. Diagnosis typically involves ultrasounds and hCG blood tests, and treatment often requires a procedure to remove the tissue. Regular follow-up care is essential to monitor hormone levels and ensure complete recovery.
