What kind of check-ups are recommended before pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Now I am in the pre-pregnancy period. I plan to go to the hospital for pre-pregnancy tests for a while, but I don't know which items need to be checked for pre-pregnancy. I am asking the doctor for help to inform me.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, pre-pregnancy check-ups generally require both partners to be tested because pregnancy is a matter for both husband and wife. Men need to check prostatic fluid and mycoplasma. And some tests for eugenics, immune viruses, and the three pre-transfusion items are required to rule out viral infections that may cause fetal malformations, intellectual disabilities, or intrauterine fetal death.
Women need to undergo more tests, such as an ultrasound to check for abnormalities, cysts, or inflammation in the uterine appendages. They also need gynecological examinations, cervical secretion tests, and mycoplasma and chlamydia cultures. Blood tests for eugenics and thyroid function screening are also required.
Recommendation: It is recommended to consult a gynecology or obstetrics department at the hospital. If the pre-pregnancy check-up results are normal, you can try to conceive for six months. If you still cannot get pregnant, you can then check whether the fallopian tubes are open.
