Overview

Conjoined twins are two babies who are born physically connected to each other. Conjoined twins may  share one or more internal organs. Many conjoined twins are not alive when born or die shortly after birth.

Conjoined twins are identical twins joined in uterus. A very phenomenon, the ranged from 1 in 49,000 births to 1 in 186,000 births in a somewhat higher incidence in southwest Asia and Africa. Approximately half are one third die within 24 hours. Most live births are female, with a ratio 3.1.

Symptoms

There are no specific signs or symptoms that indicate a conjoined twin pregnancy. As with other twin pregnancies, the uterus may grow faster than with a single baby, there may be more fatigue and vomiting early in the pregnancy.

Causes

There are two theories about the development of conjoined twins. The first is that a single fertilized egg does not fully split during the process of forming identical twins. If the zygote division occurs after 2 weeks of the development of the embryonic disc, it result in the formation of conjoined twins.

The second theory is that two separated embryos may somehow fuse together in early development.

Risk factors

Conjoined twins are so rare and the couples are very difficult to find.

How twins are joined

The same is classified on the basis of how join are connected. The sometimes share organs or other parts of their bodies. Conjoined twins may be joined at any of these sites –

Chest- twins are joined face to face at the chest. They share his heart and they also share liver and upper intestine. They are one of the most common sites of conjoined twins.

Abdomen- They shares the lower part of small intestine [ileum] and colon. They generally do not share a heart.

Head and chest- twins are joined at the face and upper body. The faces are on opposite sides of a single shared head, that share a brain. These twins rarely survive.

Head- twin are joined at the back, top or side of the head, but not the face.

The sex lives of conjoined twins

From my studies, l would notice that conjoined twins probably end up having less sex than average people, that is not only because sex partners harder to find when yours conjoined.

Conjoined twins simply may not need sex romances partners as so much as rest of us do.

Can conjoined twin have different gender

Not possible conjoined twins are identical twins, coming from the same fertilize eggs so they will always be same sex because their sex are determined at the point of fertilization from the male sperm.
