Italian to English translations [PRO] Medical - Medical (general) | | Italian term or phrase: mola uterina | This is actually taken from a philosophical text.
Vorrei terminare con un ultimo esempio di mostruosità al termine del processo generativo, la così
detta ***mola uterina***. Non è definita da Aristotele come teras, ma la descrizione delle cause avvicina
molto questo fenomeno al mondo teratologico descritto poco prima. Si tratta di una formazione
tumorale calcificata, che prende il posto dell’embrione e del feto nell’utero. Un massa carnosa che
non viene espulsa al momento del parto, ma che può provocare dissenteria o morte.
Any help appreciated! |

Molar Pregnancy
A molar pregnancy is a pregnancy complication that occurs in 1 out of every 1,000 pregnancies in the U.K. It occurs when there is a problem with the embryo due to the sperm and egg. As a result, a malformed placenta, known as a "mole," forms in the uterus. Clinically known as a hydatiform mole, molar pregnancies can be very frightening experiences. They also pose potential health complications if left untreated. Luckily, effective treatment is available for women suffering from molar pregnancies.
