A hydatidiform mole or molar pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy where there is overgrowth of placental tissue and typically no viable embryo or fetus can develop. This rare condition occurs early in pregnancy when abnormal cell growth is present in the placenta. The fetus will not develop, and the abnormal tissue must be removed. Patients with this condition are at risk for excessive bleeding, severe nausea and vomiting and early onset preeclampsia (high blood pressure with risk of seizure and other concerns). Early diagnosis and management is important.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Surgery is required to remove the abnormal tissue. Afterward, blood tests are needed for six months to a year to ensure the condition does not return. It is not advisable to become pregnant again during this time.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
