What items are included in the medical examination for women before marriage?
I'm getting married soon and planning to have a premarital medical checkup. Could you please tell me what items are included in the checkup for women?
Pre-marital medical examination items for women mainly include:
1. General physical examination, such as measurement of height, weight, blood pressure, body temperature, pulse, and respiration, which provides an overall understanding of health status.
2. Gynecological examination, covering inspection of the external genitalia, vagina, cervix, uterine body, and bilateral adnexa, to assess the health and development of the reproductive organs. This may also include vaginal discharge tests and cervical cancer screening.
3. Blood tests: including complete blood count, liver function, kidney function, blood glucose, lipid profile, as well as screening for infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, HIV, and syphilis, to ensure no transmissible diseases are present that could affect the partner or future children.
4. Genetic disease screening: genetic testing for hereditary conditions such as thalassemia and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PD), to prevent the transmission of genetic disorders.
5. Sexually transmitted disease (STD) testing: including detection of infections such as gonorrhea, chlamydia, and mycoplasma, to protect the reproductive health of both partners.
6. Ancillary examinations, such as electrocardiogram (ECG), chest X-ray, or B-ultrasound imaging, to gain a more comprehensive understanding of overall physical health.
Pre-marital examinations help individuals fully understand their health status, detect and treat diseases early, assess fertility risks, promote healthy childbirth, and prevent consanguineous marriages.
