Hello, The preconception health examination (for healthy conception and childbirth) includes the following components: 1. **Personal and family medical history**: This assessment focuses on whether either partner has a history of acute or chronic infectious diseases—such as hepatitis or active pulmonary tuberculosis. 2. **Menstrual history (for women)**: This is a critical indicator for evaluating the normal development of the female reproductive and endocrine systems, and serves as an important basis for diagnosing gynecological conditions. It also significantly influences post-marital sexual function and fertility. 3. **Genital examination (for both partners)**: For women, special attention is paid to the external genitalia during examination. Additionally, premarital examinations help both partners gain accurate knowledge about human anatomy and physiology, understand normal male and female sexual function and sexual hygiene, identify potential causes of sexual dysfunction, and learn essential concepts related to conception. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and fulfilling life!
