Doctors Remove Parasitic Twins From Baby Girl in India
A baby girl in India had a very rare condition called foetus in fetu, where two undeveloped twins grew inside her tummy.
These parasitic twins caused problems.
Doctors performed surgery to remove them, a delicate procedure because the baby was so small.
The surgery was successful, and the baby is now recovering well.
This condition is extremely rare, happening in only a few births worldwide.
The trapped foetuses can grow by taking nutrients from the host baby, potentially causing health issues if not removed.
Doctors in Gurugram, India, removed two parasitic twins from a one-month-old baby girl.
The baby had a rare condition called foetus in fetu, with the parasitic twins inside.
The baby showed symptoms like a swollen stomach and feeding difficulties.
The surgery required a team of specialists to carefully extract the twins.
The baby has been recovering well since the successful operation.
