What should couples preparing for pregnancy do for their bodies in terms of check-ups

Patient's question:

Please ask: Before having children, what physical examinations should each spouse undergo, and what precautions should they pay attention to in daily life?

Doctor's answer:

Pre-pregnancy health check-ups cover a wide range of tests, such as:
Reproductive system (screening for sexually transmitted diseases like trichomoniasis, candidiasis, mycoplasma, chlamydia, and vaginal infections through routine cervical discharge tests),
Complete toxoplasmosis screening (including rubella, toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus, and genital herpes types I/II),
Liver function (current liver function tests include both comprehensive and basic tests; comprehensive liver function tests, in addition to the full hepatitis B panel, also include items such as blood glucose and bile acid levels),
Urine routine (helps in the early diagnosis of kidney diseases; a 10-month pregnancy puts a significant strain on the mother's renal system, as increased metabolism can exacerbate kidney),
Gynecological endocrinology (including 6 tests such as follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone),
ABO hemolysis (including blood type and ABO hemolysis titer),
Chromosomal abnormalities (screening for hereditary diseases).
Given the numerous tests, doctors will select appropriate ones based on the patient's condition.
