While many women eagerly await the arrival of their babies, others face unexpected challenges during gestation. One of them is molar pregnancy, a condition that, if not detected and treated in time, can put the mother's life at risk, requiring rapid and effective medical intervention.
Molar pregnancy is an uncommon complication of pregnancy, characterized by the abnormal growth of the cells that normally form the placenta. Instead of a fetus, a mass of abnormal tissue develops in the uterus, which may resemble a cluster of grapes.
The Santa Paula Medical Group (GMSP) is a key ally for the timely diagnosis and treatment of molar pregnancy, as it has a team of highly trained professionals and cutting-edge technology, which positions this institution as a benchmark in the management of this condition.
The clinic has an obstetrical emergency unit available, equipped to handle highly complex cases, which allows for the stabilization of patients and the timely performance of necessary procedures.
Prevention
The obstetrician-gynecologist of the GMSP, doctor Rafael Cortes Charry, with more than 30 years of experience in placental diseases, pointed out that, "molar pregnancy is a rare but serious gestational complication, characterized by the abnormal growth of tissue in the uterus, which prevents the normal development of the fetus."
According to Dr. Cortes Charry, it is of great importance to have a multidisciplinary medical team to treat cases of molar pregnancy. In this regard, he highlighted that "the GMSP has a specialized team that includes obstetricians, urologists, hemodynamists, interventional radiologists, anesthesiologists, intensivists and neonatologists, among others, to manage these complex cases in a timely manner."
"These pathologies are not very common, but we have already resolved cases in the GMSP," said Dr. Cortes Charry. "The appropriate treatment is crucial, as molar pregnancy not only affects the uterus, but also neighboring organs, implying great risks for pregnant women."
Alert to the symptoms
“The low incidence of molar pregnancy should not underestimate its severity,” warns Dr. Cortes Charry, who emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. “We often receive patients in advanced stages of the disease, which complicates management and increases complications.”
The symptoms of a molar pregnancy may include vaginal bleeding, excessive nausea and vomiting, and a faster-than-expected uterine growth. However, it is important to note that these symptoms can also be present in a normal pregnancy, so it is essential to attend regular prenatal checkups.
Thanks to its highly specialized medical team and the availability of cutting-edge technology, GMSP offers a comprehensive service that guarantees the clinical stability of patients and reduces the risk of complications in these cases.
Backed by its parent company, Keralty, GMSP reiterates its commitment to excellence in medical care, offering its patients and healthcare professionals innovative tools that facilitate access to quality services, which is why it is "the clinic everyone has in mind".
