A two and a half year old boy in China was diagnosed with pregnancy. |
According to Khang Khang’s father, from birth to 2 years old, his body was very normal. However, recently the boy often vomited, vomiting whatever he ate, signs similar to a pregnant woman.
Not only that, the boy's belly was also not normal, growing bigger and harder. Worried about their son's health, the family took Khang Khang to the hospital, but at this time the doctors could not find anything unusual.
Later, when Khang Khang's condition became more serious, the family continued to take him to another hospital for examination. Here, a doctor suddenly told Khang Khang's parents:the boy is pregnant!
The feeling of everyone present after hearing the doctor’s conclusion was: disbelief. While the ultrasound results showed that the baby in Khang Khang’s belly had legs, arms, and even 5 fingers were clearly visible. This made everyone surprised…

There really is a fetus developing in Khang Khang's belly. |
What is the existence of the fetus in Khang Khang's belly?
The doctor said that the child in Khang Khang's belly was actually his twin brother, called a parasitic fetus or fetus in fetus. This case occurs in the early stages of twin pregnancy. While one fetus develops normally in the uterus, the other embryo, for many reasons, enters Khang Khang's belly through the umbilical cord and becomes a parasitic fetus.
When Khang Khang was young, his body showed no obvious signs of the presence of this parasitic fetus. But over time, the fetus in his belly grew, causing the known symptoms of morning sickness and abdominal distention.
After hearing the doctor's clear explanation, Khang Khang's family was very worried. The doctors advised to perform surgery to remove this twin brother, otherwise Khang Khang's health would be seriously affected.
Fortunately, through the efforts of the doctors, the surgery to remove the parasitic fetus in the 2-year-old boy's abdomen was successful. After resting, Khang Khang gradually recovered his health as before. According to reports, fetus in fetus is an extremely rare case, to date there have only been 200 cases similar to Khang Khang's in the world.
