JAKARTA - Have you ever heard the term pregnant with grapes? Actually this condition is quite rare and is not a common occurrence. Pregnancy with grapes or hydatidiform mole occurs when the abnormal formation of the placenta during pregnancy.

The placenta or placenta is formed abnormally and looks like a bunch of grapes. In fact, often the fetus is not formed at all, there is only placental tissue like grapes.

In early pregnancy, this condition is usually difficult to detect because it is similar to a normal pregnancy. However, pregnant wine can be seen when you do a routine check-up to the gynecologist.

There are some common symptoms of pregnancy, such as bleeding in the first trimester, severe nausea and vomiting, a stomach that looks bigger than its gestational age, pelvic pain, and brown discharge or grape-like lumps from the vagina.

The cause of pregnancy wine itself usually occurs because the fertilization process is not normal. For example, when the sperm that fertilizes the egg is empty or there are even two sperm that fertilize one egg.

Other factors that can increase the risk of getting pregnant with grapes include being pregnant over the age of 35, having had a previous pregnancy with grapes, or having had a miscarriage.

If a person experiences a wine pregnancy, most of them have a spontaneous miscarriage. This miscarriage will usually release tissue in the form of a clump like a bunch of grapes. However, even if you don't have a miscarriage, your doctor will take action to prevent more severe complications.

Some of the common actions taken if you have a miscarriage but do not have a miscarriage include curettage to remove abnormal tissue or a hysterectomy, which is the removal of the uterus if the patient does not plan to become pregnant again.
