There is also too much Trophoblastic tissue.
Ectopic pregnancy and gestational Trophoblastic disease are not included.
In a few cases, Trophoblastic disease turns into cancer.
After treatment,
you will have regular blood tests to look for signs of Trophoblastic disease.
Partial molar pregnancies: Out of 1000 cases of partial molar pregnancy,
about 50 develop Trophoblastic disease.
If you do get Trophoblastic disease, there's a small chance that it will turn into cancer.
The growth of the Trophoblastic tissue overtakes the growth of any fetal tissue
and the fetus does not develop normally.
This is because a molar pregnancy grows more quickly than a normal pregnancy would,
due to the abnormally developing Trophoblastic tissue.
Risk factors include the first pregnancy, multiple pregnancy, obesity,
prior or family history of HG, Trophoblastic disorder, and a history of eating disorders.
Rare causes of a raised hCG should also be borne in mind,
including gestational Trophoblastic disease or cranial germ cell tumour,
which must be considered.
Complete molar pregnancies: Out
of 1000 cases of complete molar pregnancy, 150 to 200 develop Trophoblastic disease that keeps growing after the tissue is removed.
