for the sisters Carmen and Lupita Andrade, sharing the pelvis, as well as the reproductive system and other structures of the body, has not been an impediment to trying to lead a normal life. Despite the fact that they are conjoined twins has prevented them from carrying out different daily activities, with a lot of love they have a fraternal relationship in a very good way.
“Sometimes, at the end of the day, we are exhausted and don’t want to talk. That’s when we use different devices and do our own thing. We’ve been together our whole lives, so it’s not like we miss our independence. It’s all we’ve known, right?” Carmen, who is the more outgoing of the two, said in an interview for the website Today.com.
Despite the difficulties they have faced and sometimes face on a daily basis, the sisters lead a normal life. In fact, Carmen is studying to be a veterinary nurse and Lupita, for her part, hopes to work in the same field as a technician.
Although when the conjoined twins entered their adolescent stage, they began to receive many messages from people who, due to a fetish, wanted to have sex with both, a situation that caused discomfort among the Andrade family. But regardless of the difficulties, that has not been an impediment for the sisters to find love.
In fact, months ago, on the YouTube channel of Ask Me AnythingCarmen revealed that, despite the fact that she shares a reproductive system with her sister, she made the decision together with Daniel and Lupita to set certain limits, such as not having sexual relations in their relationship, this so as not to affect the life of Lupita, who declared herself Asexual for a while.
“Obviously I was going to be transparent about everything. It was a learning process for everyone. We had to have a discussion about which limits are okay and which are not. We’re not intimate like that and he (Daniel) is okay with that.”added Lupita’s sister on the channel.
Despite the agreements, this has not been an impediment for the couple to maintain a stable and united relationship. In fact, Carmen and Daniel’s plans for the future include living together, as well as getting married, objectives that do not turn out to be a problem for Lupita. According to the account of her sister to Today.comLupita and Daniel have a very good relationship, so much so that when Carmen falls asleep, he stays up talking until dawn with his sister-in-law.
“Sometimes I feel bad because I want to spend a lot of time with Daniel. So we try to compromise. Like (Lupita) choosing where we go out to dinner or what activity we are going to do, “Concluded Carmen.
Regarding plans to have children in the future, Carmen does not consider that one of her priorities, despite the fact that both she and her partner “love children.” One of the impediments is endometriosis, that is, a condition that makes pregnancy difficult because certain cells grow in areas other than the uterus, according to MedlinePlus.
Regarding the social circle, the conjoined twins share the same group of friends and have no problems in other aspects, such as the clothes to wear (because the outfits are another common point). Carmen acknowledged to the American media that not everything is “pink,” because being Siamese twins has not kept them from receiving some negative comments.
“Many people are not used to people with disabilities setting limits or creating limits (…). We get a lot of questions about sex, how we go to the bathroom and things like that.”, Carmen revealed and urged to keep in mind that before conjoined twins they are human beings.
Medical breakthrough: After more than 11 hours of surgery, Texas doctors separate conjoined babies
He Cook Children’s Medical Center en Fort Worth became the scene, this week, of a huge achievement in medicine, after a team of about 25 experts, in an intervention that lasted more than 11 hours, managed to separate two 16-week-old conjoined babies that were glued by the thorax.
In addition to the now acclaimed medical team, the protagonists of this story are Amie Lynn and Jamie Lynn Finley, who are sisters who presented a pathology known as omphalopagous twins, a situation that means that they were joined through the abdomen and also shared at least one organ.
According to local media that collect the heroic medical history, the babies were born prematurely on October 3 and, according to the first diagnoses, they shared their liver, for which they had to undergo a series of very specific care for their survival. .
The one that occurred this week was a surgery that took more than 11 hours to execute, but much more to plan, anticipating all the possible scenarios and the way in which the team should respond to it; nevertheless, they managed to emerge victorious.
In explanations collected by the The Dallas Morning News, a local newspaper in Texas, the experts explained that this case represented a great challenge since only between 5 and 8 pairs of conjoined twins are born annually and, therefore, there is no clear roadmap on how to act against it.
Within the strategies for the success of the surgery there was also “practice”, explaining that, due to the rarity of the case, since this is perhaps unique, they had to prepare the surgery through the study, but, before materializing it in the minors, They carried out a practice procedure using 3D-printed models of the girls’ chests, in which they applied the plan.
However, they also clarified that the preparation for the surgery was carried out in secret, and that the possibility of advancing it was only communicated to the girls’ parents once it was certain that they knew how to operate on them, news that in turn was complemented at the beginning of this week when the director of the clinic managed to confirm “there are two babies”, confirming that the two survived.
