Chorion is a tissue that appears during pregnancy and belongs to placental trophoblasts. Choriocarcinoma is a highly malignant tumor that can occur after hydatidiform mole, abortion, or full-term delivery, and rarely after ectopic pregnancy. This disease is common in women of childbearing age. The main symptoms include irregular vaginal bleeding, enlarged uterus, abdominal pain, pseudopregnancy, and ovarian cysts.

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) refers to the loss of normal ovarian function in women before the age of 40. In this condition, the ovaries no longer produce normal levels of estrogen and do not ovulate regularly, leading to loss of fertility in most patients. It often manifests as irregular or absent menstrual periods, accompanied by infertility and symptoms similar to menopausal syndrome. Patients may experience osteoporosis, hot flashes, and cardiovascular diseases. Pregnancy is difficult for these patients, but they do not completely lose their fertility.
Hydatidiform mole
Hydatidiform mole is a relatively rare pregnancy complication, primarily characterized by abnormal proliferation of placental trophoblasts and stromal edema after conception, forming fluid-filled vesicles of varying sizes. These vesicles are connected by stalks, resembling a cluster of grapes, hence commonly known as "grape mole." The typical symptom is vaginal bleeding after amenorrhea. Based on chromosomal karyotype, pathological features, and clinical manifestations, hydatidiform mole can be divided into two types: Complete hydatidiform mole: There is no fetus or embryonic tissue in the uterine cavity, which is entirely filled with vesicular tissue. Partial hydatidiform mole: Fetal or embryonic tissue is present in the uterine cavity, and only a portion of the villi are vesicular, meaning the fetus and the hydatidiform mole coexist. The fetus is often deceased; sometimes, a live fetus or malformed fetus smaller than the gestational age may be observed, and full-term births are extremely rare.

Vulvar itching is a common symptom among women, characterized by an unpleasant sensation in the vulvar area that provokes a desire to scratch. It frequently occurs in the clitoris and labia minora, and can extend to the labia majora, perineum, and perianal region. Vulvar itching typically occurs in paroxysmal episodes, but can also be continuous, often worsening at night. When severe, it can cause restlessness and insomnia, thereby affecting daily life and work. After scratching, local vulvar skin may show scratch marks, or even excoriations and bleeding.

Abnormal vaginal discharge refers to the secretion of abnormal vaginal discharge in women due to various disease factors. Vaginal discharge is a fluid that flows from the vagina, a general term for secretions from the vagina, cervix, and uterus. It contains exfoliated vaginal epithelial cells, white blood cells, and lactobacilli. Normal vaginal discharge is usually white and odorless. The main symptoms of this disease are abnormal amount, character, or odor of vaginal discharge, such as foamy, yellow, or even bloody discharge.
View detailsDysmenorrhea
Dysmenorrhea is a gynecological condition characterized by periodic lower abdominal pain during or around menstruation, which may radiate to the lumbosacral region, or even cause severe pain and syncope. Dysmenorrhea is classified into primary dysmenorrhea and secondary dysmenorrhea, which differ significantly in their effects on the body and treatment. Primary dysmenorrhea: This refers to dysmenorrhea that occurs when there are no pathological changes in the reproductive system organs such as the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes, accounting for over 90% of dysmenorrhea cases. It is more common in adolescent females. Secondary dysmenorrhea: This refers to dysmenorrhea caused by organic pelvic diseases, with common organic diseases being endometriosis and adenomyosis. It is more common in women of childbearing age. The main symptoms include periodic lower abdominal pain during or around menstruation, or lumbosacral pain, and even severe pain and syncope.
