Yes, insurance covers the cost of molar pregnancy surgery, as it falls under the category of the medically necessary list of treatments. We suggest contacting your insurance provider to understand the policy before the treatment.

Gynecologists specializing in MTP are usually doctors with MD/MS in Gynecology and Obstetrics. In case of termination of an ectopic pregnancy, a laparoscopic gynecologist may be preferred. These gynecologists have an additional DMAS/ FMAS (Diploma or Fellowship in Minimal Access Surgeries.)

Treatment options for termination of molar pregnancy depends on the severity of the condition. Medication is usually prescribed for partial molar pregnancy to make the womb contract and get rid of the normal cell. While surgery is suggested in most severe cases.

Doctors usually suggest methotrexate in medication treatment. Methotrexate is an effective medicine, but it has some side effects like- stomach pain, painful or difficult urination, loss of appetite, vaginal bleeding, and inflammation of the mouth.

There is no particular way to prevent molar pregnancy. If you had a previous molar pregnancy, then consult your doctor and ask them about the chances of its recurrence.

If molar pregnancy is left untreated or not evacuated completely, it can lead to serious conditions known as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. It can progress and shows signs of malignancy in the wall of the uterus.
