What Does CHM Stand For?

CHM stands for Complete Hydatidiform Mole

CHM, or Complete Hydatidiform Mole, is a gestational trophoblastic disease characterized by abnormal fertilization of an egg, leading to the overgrowth of placental tissue. This condition results in a mass of cysts instead of a viable embryo, often presenting with symptoms such as vaginal bleeding, elevated levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and potentially severe complications if not managed properly. Complete Hydatidiform Moles require careful monitoring and evaluation, as they can lead to further complications, including the risk of trophoblastic neoplasia.
