Gynecologic Oncology
Molar pregnancy and trophoblastic disease
Treatment and hCG follow-up for molar pregnancy and related conditions.
What it is
A molar pregnancy is an abnormal growth of placental tissue. It needs evacuation and careful follow-up with blood tests, because a small number go on to need chemotherapy.
Who it's for
Women with a suspected or confirmed molar pregnancy.
What to expect
- Ultrasound and hCG blood tests
- Suction evacuation
- Regular hCG checks until normal
- Contraception advice during follow-up
Common questions
Can I get pregnant again?
Yes. Most women go on to have normal pregnancies once follow-up is complete.
