Is a premarital medical examination necessary for marriage

Whether to conduct a premarital medical examination before marriage requires the consent of both parties and mutual trust, because the results of the premarital medical examination may affect the relationship between the boyfriend and girlfriend who are preparing to get married. However, it is a good idea to have a premarital check-up before marriage, which can check whether there are any abnormalities in the bodies of both parties, and can also clearly know whether normal conception can be achieved after marriage, which is very helpful in avoiding the spread of congenital diseases.

Premarital check-up refers to a routine physical examination that a man and a woman go to a hospital or premarital check-up center for before getting married, in order to detect diseases and ensure a happy marriage and healthy children. There is a talk about premarital examination when registering for marriage, but many people are not very clear whether a premarital examination is necessary for marriage registration. So, is a premarital medical examination necessary before getting married? The answer is yes.

1. Is a premarital medical examination required to obtain a marriage certificate in 2018?

In 2018, you do not need a premarital medical examination to obtain a marriage certificate. my country has now abolished mandatory premarital medical examinations for marriage registration, and you can go directly to the marriage registration office to register for the certificate.

The old regulations stipulated that in places where premarital examinations were implemented, parties applying for marriage had to go to designated medical and health institutions for examinations and submit examination certificates to the marriage registration authority. During the implementation of the marriage examination system, the "diseases that are medically considered to be unsuitable for marriage" stipulated in the Marriage Law have not been clearly defined, which has brought about two problems.

First, the marriage registration authority is unable to determine whether the parties suffer from a disease that makes them unsuitable for marriage based on the examination results issued by the marriage examination agency, and whether registration can be processed.

Secondly, since the examination is not targeted, there are problems such as too many examination items and high fees in marriage examinations, which have aroused strong public response. Therefore, in the case that there is no clear medical condition that makes marriage inappropriate, it is not appropriate to make holding a premarital medical examination certificate a necessary condition for marriage registration. If the parties to a marriage consider the health of both parties, they can voluntarily go to the hospital for a physical examination.

2. Premarital examination items:

1. Liver function (two pairs and a half) Diagnosis of various types of hepatitis and liver damage. If the mother is a viral hepatitis patient and it is not discovered in time, it will cause very serious consequences after pregnancy, such as premature birth or even neonatal death. Hepatitis virus can also be transmitted vertically to children.

2. Routine blood test (blood type) can detect anemia and other blood system diseases as early as possible. Because if the mother is anemic, not only will complications such as postpartum hemorrhage and puerperal infection occur, but it will also affect the baby and bring a series of effects to the baby, such as susceptibility to infection, decreased resistance, and delayed growth and development.

3. Urinalysis helps in the early diagnosis of kidney disease. The ten-month pregnancy is a huge test for the mother's kidney system. The increased metabolism of the body will increase the burden on the kidneys.

4. Routine stool examination for diagnosis of digestive system diseases and parasitic infections, such as Toxoplasma gondii infection, can cause serious consequences such as miscarriage and fetal malformation if not discovered early.

5. Gynecological endocrinology provides a full range of diagnosis services for ovarian diseases such as irregular menstruation. For example, for women with ovarian tumors, even if the tumor is benign, the enlarged uterus after pregnancy often affects the observation of the tumor, and may even lead to risks such as miscarriage and premature birth.

6. Routinely screen leucorrhea for infections such as Trichomonas, fungi, and bacteria. If you have a sexually transmitted disease, it is best to treat it thoroughly before getting pregnant. Otherwise, it may cause risks such as miscarriage, premature birth, and premature rupture of membranes.

7. Chest X-ray/radiograph for diagnosis of tuberculosis and other lung diseases. When women with tuberculosis become pregnant, their treatment medications will be restricted and their treatment will be affected. Moreover, active tuberculosis is often aggravated by postpartum fatigue and there is a risk of transmission to the child.

8. Chromosome testing can detect genetic diseases and infertility such as Klinefelter syndrome and Turner syndrome at an early stage.

9. Full body examination and fertility assessment.

To some extent, premarital examination is the first guarantee for eugenics and good parenting, and should be taken seriously rather than abandoned.
