Can you have a gynecological examination during pre-pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I got married this year, I am 25 years old, can I have a gynecological examination for pregnancy preparation?

Doctor's answer:

I am 25 years old and got married this year. It is recommended to undergo a gynecological examination before trying to conceive. This can help understand if there are any gynecological infections, so that appropriate treatment can be taken. If the thorough examination results are normal, there is no need to worry. During the pre-pregnancy period, it is important to start taking folic acid, which should be continued until three months after conception. This can help prevent neural tube defects in the fetus. Both partners should refrain from alcohol consumption promptly.
