Molar Pregnancy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A molar pregnancy, or hydatidiform mole, is a rare pregnancy complication in which the tissue that would normally form the placenta grows abnormally, without a baby developing properly.
Common symptoms: It may present with vaginal bleeding during pregnancy, severe nausea, a uterus that is larger than expected, or high blood pressure early on.
When should you see a doctor? It is important to seek care if there is bleeding during pregnancy or unusual symptoms, since careful follow-up is key.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist and the gynecologic oncologist are the professionals who diagnose and follow up on this condition. If you are pregnant and notice bleeding or discomfort that worries you, having it evaluated soon by one of them is the safest decision.
