Patient's question:
I'm going to get a pre-marital health check-up with my boyfriend next week. I had one before, but I don't want him to know. Could a miscarriage be detected during a thorough check-up?Doctor's answer:
If you have had a miscarriage in the past, it cannot be detected during the pre-marital health check-up as to how you became pregnant. However, if you become pregnant after getting married, you will need to inform your doctor during your follow-up visit about your history of miscarriage. Generally, there is no need to worry about confidentiality breaches when communicating with the doctor, as they all adhere to professional ethics and can keep your information confidential.
