What to do about twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome

Patient's question:

There is a possibility of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, requiring a doctor's diagnosis.

Doctor's answer:

If the twins have a significant difference in fetal development, with a difference of more than double, it is important to be vigilant about the occurrence of twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS). TTTS is a serious complication of twin pregnancy, and if it is not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner, it can easily lead to fetal death. It is reported that "twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome" is relatively rare, with an incidence rate of 10%-20% in twins, and a high mortality rate. The specific treatment approach depends on the fetal development. It is recommended to undergo a detailed examination at an obstetric hospital.
