What is the difference between pre-pregnancy tests and pre-marital tests?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often have lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here for consultation. Could you please tell me the difference between pre-pregnancy tests and pre-marital tests?

Doctor's answer:

There is a difference. Mandatory pre-marital examination items: 1. Legal infectious diseases. This includes AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, hepatitis B, etc. These diseases can be screened through blood tests or smears. 2. Severe mental illnesses. Such as severe mania, schizophrenia, etc. These diseases may endanger the life safety and physical health of others, and the psychological issues of patients can also lead to many serious consequences. Such diseases require diagnosis by psychiatrists. 3. Systemic malformations. These diseases directly affect fertility. Some of these conditions can be diagnosed by urologists and gynecologists through visual examination, while others require ultrasound tests. Pre-pregnancy examinations should be conducted 3 to 6 months before pregnancy to allow for timely treatment and correction if abnormalities or issues unsuitable for pregnancy are detected. In addition to the pre-pregnancy examination items mentioned above, it does not mean that the occurrence of unexpected situations such as fetal malformations can be completely ruled out. Women also need to undergo comprehensive prenatal examinations after becoming pregnant.
