Women's gynecology

1. Basic blood test

A basic blood test can quickly detect high and low hemoglobin levels. If anemia is found, treatment can be given immediately. It can also detect whether there is thalassemia, which is a potential genetic disease. If one of the parents is a carrier of the gene, the baby will be affected. Therefore, if a problem is found, treatment must be given first before pregnancy. The results of blood tests are very important and must not be ignored.

2. Hepatitis B test

In fact, hepatitis B itself will not affect pregnant babies. Even if the pregnant mother is a highly infectious hepatitis B carrier, the newborn can be vaccinated immediately after birth for protection. However, it is more reassuring for the pregnant mother to know whether she is a virus carrier before pregnancy. If the pregnant mother is neither a virus carrier nor has antigen, she can receive vaccination first to ultimately avoid excessive treatment.

3. Cervical smear test

Some pregnant women only find out that they have cervical cancer after they become pregnant. This is such a terrible thing. In order to avoid this situation, a simple cervical scraping test should be done before pregnancy. This can make pregnant mothers feel more at ease, because only a healthy uterus can nurture a healthy baby.

Men's medical treatment or eugenics

1. Sperm testing

In fact, the most important thing for pregnant fathers during their pre-pregnancy physical examination is the sperm test. Don't skip the test because it's too troublesome. This way you can check whether the sperm is healthy and whether it's suitable for having a baby.

2. Male urinary system examination

Whether the male's urinary system is healthy or has any problems has a great impact on the baby's health, so the inspection of this private part must not be ignored.

3. Physical condition of family members

The doctor will also ask in detail about the relatives' past health conditions, whether they have suffered from any diseases in the past, what treatments they have taken, especially mental illnesses, genetic diseases, etc., and sometimes chromosome and blood tests will be performed.
