Molar Pregnancy

Mayo Clinic illustrated that a molar pregnancy is a rare complication of pregnancy. It involves the unusual growth of cells called trophoblasts. These cells transform the organ that feeds a growing fetus. That organ is also known as the placenta.

There are two types of molar pregnancy: complete molar pregnancy and partial molar pregnancy. In a complete molar pregnancy, the placental tissue swells and appears to form fluid-filled cysts. There is no fetus. In a partial molar pregnancy, the placenta might have both regular and irregular tissue. There may be a fetus, but the fetus can't survive. The fetus usually miscarries early in the pregnancy.

A molar pregnancy is a rare condition where abnormal tissue grows inside the uterus instead of a healthy baby. It happens due to a problem during fertilization. In most cases, the pregnancy cannot continue, and treatment is needed to remove the tissue. Regular follow-ups are important, but most people recover fully and can try for a healthy pregnancy in the future.
