What is Molar Pregnancy?
A molar pregnancy is an abnormal pregnancy where a nonviable fertilized egg implants in the uterus. It may result in a molar mass instead of a normal pregnancy. Treatment involves removal of the molar tissue, and close follow-up is essential to monitor for potential complications and to plan for future pregnancies.
