What items are checked during pre-marital examination
On the eve of the wedding, many people will choose to have a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that they are in good health. This kind of physical examination is called a pre-marital physical examination. It can comprehensively check various physical indicators to ensure that you are in good health after marriage. So what does a pre-marital physical examination include? This article will give you a detailed introduction from four aspects.
Basic physical examination
Basic physical examination is the most important part of premarital examination. This is to determine the basic health status of the human body and guide the living habits that need to be adjusted. Doctors will measure height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate, etc.; perform simple measurements of vision, hearing, reaction, etc.; and also conduct chest X-rays, electrocardiograms, abdominal ultrasounds and other examinations to evaluate the health of organs. If physical discomfort is detected, the doctor will give corresponding suggestions and treatment plans.
Pre-marital examination
This type of examination is conducted for couples who are preparing to have children before marriage. For women, doctors will check the health of reproductive organs, such as the cervix, ovaries, etc., and conduct tests for cervical cancer, trichomoniasis and other related diseases. For men, doctors check semen quality, prostate, vagina, etc. to assess readiness for childbearing.
Infectious disease examination
Infectious disease examination is also a must-have pre-marital examination, because some infectious diseases will not only affect personal health, but also have adverse effects on the spouse and future children. Such examinations include hepatitis B, HIV, syphilis, etc. Through testing, we can understand whether an individual has an infectious disease. At the same time, we can better guide our living habits and avoid the occurrence of infectious diseases.
Genetic disease examination
Genetic disease examination is a very important step in premarital examination. The occurrence of some genetic diseases requires that at least one of the genes of both parties carries the relevant gene mutation. Therefore, through genetic disease examination, the genetic status of future children can be evaluated, and corresponding measures can be taken in a timely manner to avoid the adverse effects of genetic diseases on future generations.
In short, premarital examination includes basic physical examination, premarital and childbearing examination, infectious disease examination and genetic disease examination. They are necessary to fully assess a person\’s physical condition while protecting the health of a spouse and future children. Therefore, any couple planning to get married should pay enough attention to premarital examination.
