Patient's question:
The couple is 28 years old, and there is no history of hereditary diseases in their families. Both are sexually abstinent and wish to have children. Today, they went for a pre-marital health check-up. The doctor treated me like a three-year-old child, randomly selecting (physical examination items). Even at the municipal maternal and child health hospital, there was no guidance at all, and they still insisted on testing for HIV. According to her calculations, as outsiders, our pre-marital health check-up would cost over 2,500.Doctor's answer:
Pre-marital examination refers to a routine physical and genital examination for both men and women before marriage to detect diseases and ensure marital happiness after marriage. Pre-marital examination is of great significance for both men and women. Advice: Question 1: Thalassemia is not included in pre-marital examination and can be skipped. Thalassemia is a genetic disease. If both individuals are mild β-thalassemia patients, there is a 25% chance that their offspring will be normal, a 50% chance that they will be like you with mild thalassemia, and a 25% chance that they will have moderate to severe thalassemia. Question 2: Already answered. Question 3: Karyotype analysis of chromosomes and syphilis treponemal test (if necessary), infectious diseases, breast problems. Question 4: Everyone's absorption and utilization of folic acid are different. Folic acid deficiency can cause miscarriage and has a significant impact on pregnant women, fetuses, and infants during pregnancy, leading to congenital diseases such as neural tube defects and cleft lip.
