Is hydatidiform mole an ectopic pregnancy?

1. In clinical practice, ectopic pregnancy generally refers to ectopic pregnancy. Hydatidiform mole is generally not an ectopic pregnancy.

2. Under normal circumstances, the fertilized egg usually implants in the uterus and gradually develops into an embryo and fetus. Hydatidiform mole is a disease of abnormal embryonic development, which means that the embryo stops developing and forms a grape lesion. The cause is usually related to chromosomal abnormalities or gene mutations. The main symptoms are vaginal bleeding, enlarged uterus, etc., and generally requires uterine curettage surgery.

3. Ectopic pregnancy refers to the implantation of the fertilized egg in a part other than the uterus, such as the fallopian tube, ovary, abdominal cavity, etc., which is usually caused by inflammation or stenosis of the fallopian tube. Since the fertilized egg is implanted in an inappropriate part, it cannot continue to develop into a normal fetus, which can easily cause symptoms such as abdominal mass, abdominal pain, abnormal vaginal bleeding, etc. Generally, it can be treated by a doctor through surgery such as salpingectomy and fallopian tube fenestration.

4. The onset, symptoms, signs and treatment methods of these two diseases are very different, so they are two completely different diseases. No matter which disease you have, you need to actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment.
