Ovarian Cycle01:27

Ovarian Cycle

The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle length...
Uterine Tubes01:16

Uterine Tubes

The uterine or fallopian tubes function as the conduit through which oocytes travel from the ovaries to the uterus. Each fallopian tube measures approximately 10 to 13 cm long and is anatomically divided into the infundibulum, ampulla, isthmus, and interstitial part (or intramural segment). The infundibulum is characterized by its funnel shape and features extensions called fimbriae which reach towards the peritoneal cavity. These fimbriae play a critical role during ovulation as they extend...
Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
Nondisjunction01:21

Nondisjunction

Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate correctly and move to the opposite poles of the cells. This produces daughter cells with abnormal chromosome numbers.  Nondisjunction is common during anaphase I or anaphase II of meiosis.  Mutations in synaptonemal complex proteins that attach homologous chromosomes increase the chances of nondisjunction in anaphase I of meiosis I. In contrast, mutations in topoisomerases and condensins that hold sister...
Cleavage and Blastulation01:33

Cleavage and Blastulation

After a large-single-celled zygote is produced via fertilization, the process of cleavage occurs while zygotes travel through the uterine tube. Cleavage is a mitotic cell division that does not result in growth. With each round of successive cell division, daughter cells get increasingly smaller.

Summary

Complete hydatidiform mole is a common abnormal pregnancy, affecting younger women and often presenting with vaginal bleeding early in pregnancy. This study analyzed 504 cases to understand its incidence and clinical presentation.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Reproductive Health
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Complete hydatidiform mole is a frequent complication of pregnancy.
  • Understanding its incidence and clinical characteristics is crucial for early detection and management.
  • This review focuses on trends and diagnostic capabilities at a specific maternity hospital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the incidence and epidemiological trends of complete hydatidiform mole.
  • To analyze the clinical presentation and diagnostic methods for complete hydatidiform mole.
  • To assess the management and outcomes of complete hydatidiform mole cases.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study of 504 complete hydatidiform mole cases.
  • Data collected from Paropakar Maternity and Women's Hospital records (2058-2065 B.S.).
  • Analysis of incidence, clinical features, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of complete mole was 1 in 276 births.
  • Prevalent in women under 29 years (80%) and primigravidae (36.7%).
  • Vaginal bleeding was the primary symptom (68.3%), typically in early pregnancy; 9.5% developed persistent mole.

Conclusions:

  • Complete hydatidiform mole is the most common molar pregnancy.
  • Younger women are predominantly affected, often presenting with early vaginal bleeding.
  • Effective clinical detection and timely management are essential.
