Does double ovary mean twins?

Does double ovary mean twins?

We all know that women usually have two ovaries, one located on the upper and lower sides. The function of two ovaries is to work in turns to slow down the body's aging, which has nothing to do with conceiving twins. There are two common types of twins: identical twins and fraternal twins. When doing B-ultrasound examination of twins, either 2 gestational sacs or 2 gestational yolk sacs will be shown. Does double uterus and double ovaries mean twin babies?

After many female friends become pregnant, they go to the hospital for an ultrasound to diagnose that they are already pregnant and to rule out ectopic pregnancy. After doing an ultrasound examination, many women will find that the ultrasound report shows double uterus and ovaries. Many women mistakenly think that this means twins and will be very excited. We all know that although twins are common, the probability of conceiving twins is relatively small.

In fact, if you are a woman, you will be born with a uterus and ovaries, which are one of the female sexual characteristics. And normal women rarely have two ovaries, one located on the upper and lower sides. The purpose of women having two uteruses and ovaries is to use them interchangeably and prevent aging problems. And women basically only have one mature follicle released every month, which may be released from the left ovary or the right ovary. It is not certain, but what is certain is that both uterus and ovaries on both sides can be used.

We all know that there are two situations of twin babies. The first is fraternal twins, which means that two eggs are fertilized by two sperm respectively to produce two sperm-egg combinations; while identical twins are one egg and one sperm fusion to produce one sperm-egg combination, but in the later stage of development, the fertilized egg splits into two embryos. In other words, fraternal twins need to have two gestational sacs present in the B-ultrasound examination; while identical twins need to have two yolk sacs present in the B-ultrasound examination.

It can be seen that a woman's double uterus and ovaries only indicate that the woman's ovaries are in good condition and there is no blockage problem. This will further increase the probability of women getting pregnant. However, double uterus and ovaries have nothing to do with twins. To take a step back, even if one ovary is blocked and only one ovary can discharge eggs normally, it is still possible to conceive twins; and even if both ovaries are normal, but basically only one egg is discharged each month, the probability of conceiving a single baby is higher than the probability of twins.

Therefore, double uterus and ovary are not twins. Don't think that double uterus and ovary written in the B-ultrasound report means twins. Twins either have two gestational sacs or two yolk sacs. If you don't know how to interpret the B-ultrasound test report, you can consult a doctor or search for answers on the Internet. In fact, if it is twin babies, the doctor will definitely tell you, because twins will also have to pay double the fee.
