A molar pregnancy is an abnormally fertilized egg. Molar pregnancies occur when the fertilized egg does not have any of the mother's chromosones, or the father's chromosones duplicate.

What are the key differences between molar pregnancy partial vs complete, and how do they impact the diagnosis and treatment of this condition?

Molar pregnancy is a rare condition where abnormal tissue grows in the uterus instead of a normal pregnancy. The key difference between partial and complete molar pregnancies lies in the genetic makeup of the abnormal tissue. In partial molar pregnancies, there is an abnormal fetus with some normal placental tissue, while in complete molar pregnancies, there is no fetus and all the tissue is abnormal. Diagnosis of molar pregnancy is typically done through ultrasound and blood tests to measure hormone levels. Treatment usually involves removing the abnormal tissue through a procedure called dilation and curettage (DC). In complete molar pregnancies, there is a higher risk of complications such as persistent trophoblastic disease, which may require additional treatment like chemotherapy. Partial molar pregnancies have a lower risk of complications compared to complete molar pregnancies.
