Abstract

Background: A molar pregnancy is also known as hydatidiform mole which is a benign tumour that develops in the uterus. It begins when an egg is fertilized but normal viable pregnancy not occurs, rather than the placenta develops into an abnormal mass of cyst. In all cases of molar pregnancy observation is essential to detect the reawakening of chorionic activity.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to explore the incidence, clinical presentation, management and outcome of the molar pregnancy in our hospital.

Materials & Methods: This prospective study was conducted in Rajshahi Medical College Hospital, Rajshahi, Bangladesh over a period of one year from July 2016 to June 2017. All pregnant women who were diagnosed as molar pregnancy were included in the study.

Results: In this study the incidence of molar pregnancy was 5.3 per 1,000 deliveries that was 1 in 188 deliveries. Among the patients 54.7% were between (23 - 27 years) age group, 81.2% cases were multiparous and 58.4% patients belonged to low socioeconomic status. The prevalent blood group was A and constitute 56.6%. About 62.2% patient presented with amenorrhoea and abnormal vaginal bleeding. 45.3% admitted between (12-16) weeks of gestation. Most of the patients 58.4% were managed by suction and evacuation. Among all the cases 92.4% were complete mole and only 16.9% came for follow up.

Conclusion: Results from this study showed that a small portion of patient of molar pregnancy came for routine follow up. To achieve high cure rate and low chemotherapy rate an effective registration programme and treatment protocol should be established.
