2. Partial molar pregnancy: arise from two sperm fertilizing a single ovum. There may be normal
placental tissue along with abnormally forming placental tissue. There may also be formation of a fetus,
but the fetus is not able to survive, and is usually miscarried early in the pregnancy.
SYMPTOMS
A molar pregnancy may seem like a normal pregnancy at first, but most molar pregnancies cause specific
signs and symptoms, including:
– Dark brown to bright red vaginal bleeding during the first trimester
– Rapid uterine growth — the uterus is too large for the stage of pregnancy
– Preeclampsia
– Anemia
– Asian women. Asians have a higher chance of acquiring this disease because of their genetic
formation.
– Women with a blood group of A who marry men with blood group O. these blood groups, when
combined together, results in unfavorable conditions like H-mole.
– Maternal age. A molar pregnancy is more likely in women older than age 35 or younger than age
20.
– Previous molar pregnancy. If you've had one molar pregnancy, you're more likely to have
another. A repeat molar pregnancy happens, on average, in 1 out of every 100 women.
Complications
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN)- After a molar pregnancy has been removed, molar tissue
may remain and continue to grow.
Prevention
It is recommended to wait for six months to one year before trying to become pregnant. The risk of
recurrence is low, but higher than the risk for women with no previous history of molar pregnancy.
During any subsequent pregnancies, your care provider may do early ultrasounds to monitor your
condition and offer reassurance of normal development. Your provider may also discuss prenatal
genetic testing, which can be used to diagnose a molar pregnancy.
Diagnosis
- Pregnancy test
- ULTRASOUND
- BIOPSY
– Hysterectomy
– CHEMOTHERAPY ). Chemo will also be needed if the pathologist finds choriocarcinoma in the
tissue sample. Chemotherapy may consist of only one drug (methotrexate or dactinomycin). If
this treatment is ineffective, a combination of chemotherapy drugs (such
as etoposide, methotrexate, actinomycin-D, cyclophosphamide, and vincristine) may be used, or
hysterectomy may be done.
Patient’s Profile:
Mrs. Eve is a 36 year old married woman, a plain housewife and a devoted catholic. She was
admitted at the hospital last January 4, 2019, with chief complain of vaginal bleeding soaking 3-4
pads per day with a presence of blood clots for 4 days. Her physician Dr. Met diagnosed her with
g2p1 (1001) 13 weeks age of gestation, h-mole, anemia severe.
– OBSTETRIC HISTORY:
– G2P1 (1001)
– PNCU= RHU
4 days prior to admission, she experienced vaginal bleeding soaking 3-4 pads a day with the
presence of blood clots, despite of it, she never consulted a physician. The bleeding continued for
the succeeding days causing her to become weak and pale. Thus, her nephew took her at the
hospital and let her admitted. Intravenous fluid were started, laboratories stat were done, and was
advised to secure 2 units of blood prior to surgical management (suction curettage).
– The term "vagina" is often improperly used as a generic term to refer to the vulva or female
genitals, even though - strictly speaking - the vagina is a specific internal structure and the vulva
is the exterior genitalia only. Calling the vulva the vagina is akin to calling the mouth the throat.
Mons Veneris
– The mons veneris, Latin for "mound of Venus" (Roman Goddess of love) is the soft mound at the
front of the vulva (fatty tissue covering the pubic bone). It is also referred to as the mons pubis.
The mons veneris protects the pubic bone and vulva from the impact of sexual intercourse.
After puberty, it is covered with pubic hair, usually in a triangular shape. Heredity can play a role
in the amount of pubic hair an individual grows.
Labia Majora
– The labia majora are the outer "lips" of the vulva. They are pads of loose connective and
adipose tissue, as well as some smooth muscle. The labia majora wrap around the vulva from
the mons pubis to the perineum. The labia majora generally hides, partially or entirely, the other
parts of the vulva. There is also a longitudinal separation called the pudendal cleft. These labia
are usually covered with pubic hair. The color of the outside skin of the labia majora is usually
close to the overall color of the individual, although there may be some variation. The inside skin
is usually pink to light brown. They contain numerous sweat and oil glands. It has been
suggested that the scent from these oils are sexually arousing.
Labia Minora
– Medial to the labia majora are the labia minora. The labia minora are the inner lips of the vulva.
They are thin stretches of tissue within the labia majora that fold and protect the vagina,
urethra, and clitoris. The appearance of labia minora can vary widely, from tiny lips that hide
between the labia majora to large lips that protrude. There is no pubic hair on the labia minora,
but there are sebaceous glands. The two smaller lips of the labia minora come together
longitudinally to form the prepuce, a fold that covers part of the clitoris. The labia minora
protect the vaginal and urethral openings. Both the inner and outer labia are quite sensitive to
touch and pressure.
Clitoris
– The clitoris, visible as the small white oval between the top of the labia minora and the clitoral
hood, is a small body of spongy tissue that functions solely for sexual pleasure. Only the tip or
glans of the clitoris shows externally, but the organ itself is elongated and branched into two
forks, the crura, which extend downward along the rim of the vaginal opening toward the
perineum. Thus the clitoris is much larger than most people think it is, about 4" long on average.
– The clitoral glans or external tip of the clitoris is protected by the prepuce, or clitoral hood, a
covering of tissue similar to the foreskin of the male penis. However, unlike the penis, the
clitoris does not contain any part of the urethra.
– During sexual excitement, the clitoris erects and extends, the hood retracts, making the clitoral
glans more accessible. The size of the clitoris is variable between women. On some, the clitoral
glans is very small; on others, it is large and the hood does not completely cover it.
Urethra
– The opening to the urethra is just below the clitoris. Although it is not related to sex or
reproduction, it is included in the vulva. The urethra is actually used for the passage of urine.
The urethra is connected to the bladder. In females the urethra is 1.5 inches long, compared to
males whose urethra is 8 inches long. Because the urethra is so close to the anus, women should
always wipe themselves from front to back to avoid infecting the vagina and urethra with
bacteria. This location issue is the reason for bladder infections being more common among
females.
The hymen is a thin fold of mucous membrane that separates the lumen of the vagina from the
urethral sinus. Sometimes it may partially cover the vaginal orifice. The hymen is usually
perforated during later fetal development.
– A tear to the hymen, medically referred to as a "transection," can be seen in a small percentage
of women or girls after first penetration. A transection is caused by penetrating trauma.
Masturbation and tampon insertion can, but generally are not forceful enough to cause
penetrating trauma to the hymen. Therefore, the appearance of the hymen is not a reliable
indicator of virginity or chastity.
Perineum
– The perineum is the short stretch of skin starting at the bottom of the vulva and extending to
the anus. It is a diamond shaped area between the symphysis pubis and the coccyx. This area
forms the floor of the pelvis and contains the external sex organs and the anal opening. It can be
further divided into the urogenital triangle in front and the anal triangle in back.
– The perineum in some women may tear during the birth of an infant and this is apparently
natural. Some physicians however, may cut the perineum preemptively on the grounds that the
"tearing" may be more harmful than a precise cut by a scalpel. If a physician decides the cut is
necessary, they will perform it. The cut is called an episiotomy.
INTERNAL GENITALIA
Vagina
– The vagina is a muscular, hollow tube that extends from the vaginal opening to the cervix of the
uterus. It is situated between the urinary bladder and the rectum. It is about three to five inches
long in a grown woman. The muscular wall allows the vagina to expand and contract. The
muscular walls are lined with mucous membranes, which keep it protected and moist. A thin
sheet of tissue with one or more holes in it, called the hymen, partially covers the opening of the
vagina. The vagina receives sperm during sexual intercourse from the penis. The sperm that
survive the acidic condition of the vagina continue on through to the fallopian tubes where
fertilization may occur.
– The vagina is made up of three layers, an inner mucosal layer, a middle muscularis layer, and an
outer fibrous layer. The inner layer is made of vaginal rugae that stretch and allow penetration
to occur. These also help with stimulation of the penis. microscopically the vaginal rugae has
glands that secrete an acidic mucus (pH of around 4.0.) that keeps bacterial growth down. The
outer muscular layer is especially important with delivery of a fetus and placenta.
Cervix
– The cervix (from Latin "neck") is the lower, narrow portion of the uterus where it joins with the
top end of the vagina. Where they join together forms an almost 90 degree curve. It is
cylindrical or conical in shape and protrudes through the upper anterior vaginal wall.
Approximately half its length is visible with appropriate medical equipment; the remainder lies
above the vagina beyond view. It is occasionally called "cervix uteri", or "neck of the uterus".
Uterus
– The uterus is shaped like an upside-down pear, with a thick lining and muscular walls. Located
near the floor of the pelvic cavity, it is hollow to allow a blastocyte, or fertilized egg, to implant
and grow. It also allows for the inner lining of the uterus to build up until a fertilized egg is
implanted, or it is sloughed off during menses.Fallopian Tubes
– At the upper corners of the uterus are the fallopian tubes. There are two fallopian tubes, also
called the uterine tubes or the oviducts. Each fallopian tube attaches to a side of the uterus and
connects to an ovary. They are positioned between the ligaments that support the uterus. The
fallopian tubes are about four inches long and about as wide as a piece of spaghetti. Within each
tube is a tiny passageway no wider than a sewing needle. At the other end of each fallopian tube
is a fringed area that looks like a funnel. This fringed area, called the infundibulum, lies close to
the ovary, but is not attached. The ovaries alternately release an egg. When an ovary does
ovulate, or release an egg, it is swept into the lumen of the fallopian tube by the fimbriae.
– Once the egg is in the fallopian tube, tiny hairs in the tube's lining help push it down the narrow
passageway toward the uterus. The oocyte, or developing egg cell, takes four to five days to
travel down the length of the fallopian tube. If enough sperm are ejaculated during sexual
intercourse and there is an oocyte in the fallopian tube, fertilization will occur. After fertilization
occurs, the zygote, or fertilized egg, will continue down to the uterus and implant itself in the
uterine wall where it will grow and develop.
Ovum
– Ovum, plural ova, in human physiology, single cell released from either of the female
reproductive organs, the ovaries, which is capable of developing into a new organism when
fertilized (united) with a sperm cell.
– the outer surface of each ovary is covered by a layer of cells (germinal epithelium); these
surround the immature egg cells, which are present in the ovaries from the time of birth. A
hollow ball of cells, the follicle, encompasses each ovum. Within the follicle the ovum gradually
matures. It takes about four months for a follicle to develop once it is activated. Some follicles
lie dormant for 40 years before they mature; others degenerate and never develop. During
child-bearing years, 300 to 400 follicles mature and emit eggs capable of being fertilized. By the
time a woman reaches menopause, most remaining follicles have degenerated.
Fertilization
– During coitus (sexual intercourse) between a male and a female, semen is released into the
vagina and transported through the uterus into the fallopian tube. Although many factors
contribute to whether or not a single act of intercourse will result in pregnancy, most important
is whether or not a sperm cell will “meet” an ovum in the fallopian tube (fertilization).
Fertilization can only occur if intercourse takes place before the time of ovulation that usually
occurs “mid-cycle”, or about 14 days before the woman's next menstrual period. At the time of
ovulation, the ovum is released from the ovary and transported in the fallopian tube where it
remains for about 24-48 hours. Pregnancy is most likely to occur if fresh semen is present when
ovulation occurs.
Chorionic Villi
– Chorionic villi sprout from the chorion after their rapid proliferation in order to give a maximum
area of contact with the maternal blood. These villi invade and destroy the uterine decidua
while at the same time they absorb nutritive materials from it to support the growth of the
embryo .
– During the primary stage (the end of fourth week), the chorionic villi are small, nonvascular, and
contain only the trophoblast. During the secondary stage (the fifth week), the villi increase in
size and ramify, while the mesoderm grows into them; at this point the villi contain trophoblast
and mesoderm.
Placenta
– The placenta is a fetally derived organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall to
allow nutrient uptake, waste elimination, and gas exchange via the mother's blood supply. The
placenta begins to develop upon implantation of the blastocyst into the
maternal endometrium.
– The placenta functions as a feto-maternal organ with two components: the fetal placenta
(chorion frondosum), which develops from the same blastocyst that forms the fetus; and the
maternal placenta (decidua basalis), which develops from the maternal uterine tissue.
Cytotrophoblast
– The cytotrophoblast (or layer of Langhans) is the inner layer of the trophoblast. It is interior to
the syncytiotrophoblast and external to the wall of the blastocyst in a developing embryo.
– The cytotrophoblast is considered to be the trophoblastic stem cell because the layer
surrounding the blastocyst remains while daughter cells differentiate and proliferate to function
in multiple roles. There are two lineages that cytotrophoblastic cells may differentiate through:
fusion and invasive. The fusion lineage yields syncytiotrophoblast and the invasive lineage yields
interstitial cytotrophoblast cells.
– Cytotrophoblastic cells play an important role in the implantation of a newly fertilized egg in the
uterus.
