When a woman knows she is pregnant, that time she gets very excited for the child. But getting a partial molar pregnancy is hurtful for a woman. No woman expects it for the rest of her life.
This partial molar pregnancy occurs when an embryo has too many chromosomes. At this time, the ovum gets 69 chromosomes instead of 46 chromosomes. That is the reason why we get partial molar pregnancy.
What are the symptoms and side effects of partial molar pregnancy?
When a woman experiences a partial molar pregnancy, the embryo can no longer develop in the womb. If a woman has a partial molar pregnancy, the pregnancy may miscarry early and there is no way to save the fetus.
A normal pregnancy is one where an egg and a sperm unit are fertilised naturally. But when two eggs and two sperm are fertilised at the same time, it becomes a partial molar pregnancy. It can be said that it is almost like a complete molar pregnancy.
However, partial molar pregnancy occurs less frequently than complete molar pregnancy. It has been observed that 1 in 1200 pregnant women experience a partial molar pregnancy.
Some symptoms are given below to identify partial molar pregnancy:
- Heavy vaginal bleeding.
- Nausea and excessive vomiting.
- High blood pressure.
- Extra abnormal growth of the fetus.
- A grape-like cyst protrudes from the vah=gina.
A partial molar pregnancy can turn out to be terrible if we do not recognize its symptoms and treat it. We can’t prevent it but we can provide proper treatment if one is caught. So we should always be sincere during pregnancy.
