What are some myths about conjoined twins?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Some myths about conjoined twins include that they have separate personalities, that they can feel each other's pain, and that they have telepathic communication. In reality, conjoined twins are individuals with their own thoughts and feelings, each with their own unique identity. They have separate nervous systems, so they do not feel physical sensations experienced by their twin.

Asked by Wiki User

Pros: Titanium rods are strong and lightweight, providing stability and support for bones during healing. They are biocompatible, meaning the body is less likely to reject them compared to other materials.

Cons: Titanium rods can cause discomfort or pain, may require removal in some cases if complications arise, and can interfere with medical imaging tests such as MRIs. In rare cases, there can be allergic reactions or stress shielding effects on surrounding bone tissue.

What is it called when a twin absorbs his twin?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That is what they call "vanishing twin" or "fetal resorption." Sometimes it is not fully absorbed, but flattened, and the condition is called fetus papyraceus. If this happens in the first trimester, there may be no other complications except some bleeding. However, if it happens later, it could threaten the health of the mother or surviving twin. If it happens at the very end, and the dead fetus is low-lying, then a caesarean may be required to deliver the living twin.

How do conjoined twins of different genders go to the toilet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Like the Chess rule: Queen takes her color, Siamese twins are always Identical twins- and these always take the same gender.

One could not have a Boy and Girl Siamese twins. some for many years were either Brothers (Chang and Eng) or Sisters such as the Hilton sisters, the Gibb ( or Gibbs) sisters, etc. for obvious show-business reasons the distaff twins are preferable to the carnivals, etc. the Hilton Sisters were a stellar example.

So the problem of toilet use does not occur- they are two girls, or two boys so go to either the Men's or women's rooms as the gender requires.
