Pre-Marital/Pre-Conception Test

Many couples may have the fallacy that they are healthy when in actual fact, they are not. They may have in them undetected health problems, silent killers, or infectious and hereditary diseases, all in which can only be screened and detected with the test.

The Pre-marital test is similar to the routine health-screening with additional tests to detect hereditary, fertility and other serious health complications. Hence, it is of utmost importance for couples who have plans for marriage to undergo this test to be fully aware of their health conditions so precautions or treatment can be done earlier.

The Pre-conception test is akin to a preventive medicine as it offers a complete medical history and physical exam a few months to a year before the mother starts trying to conceive. This will help you determine what steps you may need to take to become physically and emotionally ready to have a baby. The screening tests also helps couple to be aware if there are any health issues that might affect their fertility such as sperm problems in males or thyroid disorders in females. More importantly, medical conditions that can complicate pregnancy, such as asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, blood clotting disorders, and thyroid disease can be highlighted during the test.
