Introduction: Sporadic presentation of hydatidiform has been reported previously as 1 in 1000 pregnancies. In rare cases asymptomatic molar pregnancies can cause problems if not identified in early radiological investigations. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency of hydatidiform (molar pregnancy) presenting with associated symptoms, analysis of determinants and management in Sindh, Pakistan. Methodology: This is a cross sectional study, patients were divided into categories according to maternal age, gravida while Beta HCG values were reported along with radiological investigation reporting to confirm hydatidiform molar pregnancy. Statistical package of social science version 21 was used to analyze the data. Results: Total 51 patients were identified with hydatidiform molar pregnancy during study period of 12 months from more than 1000 full term reported pregnancies, indicating 5.1% prevalence of disorder. The diagnosis has been confirmed only 1 (1.9%) case of partial molar pregnancy while 50 (99.1%) were complete molar pregnancy cases, managed by suction evacuation method, risks factors of hydatidiform molar pregnancy with advanced maternal age, recurrent molar pregnancy and positive family history the odds ratio has indicated positive association between first two determinants with OR of 1.71 and 1.21 respectively. Conclusion: Overall recorded frequency of hydatidiform in our institute is 5.1% within 1 year. Advanced maternal age and previous history of molar pregnancies are risk factors of hydatidiform.
