Why Consider a Premarital Health Check-up?
Premarital screening can help couples understand their current health status, identify certain infectious diseases that may require treatment or monitoring, learn their blood group and Rh factor, discuss reproductive health concerns with a specialist, address existing medical conditions before planning a pregnancy, and make informed healthcare decisions together.
A premarital health check-up is not about determining suitability for marriage. Instead, it is a proactive step towards health awareness and future family planning.
All 38 Tests Included
Tap each profile to see the individual tests it covers.
Complete Blood Count (CBC) 28 parameters
A detailed assessment of haemoglobin levels, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelet count and indices. This test can help identify anaemia, infection and other blood-related abnormalities.
Diabetic Profile 2 tests
These tests help assess blood glucose levels and identify individuals who may require further evaluation for diabetes or prediabetes.
Infectious Disease Screening 4 tests
HIV screening checks for Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HBsAg screens for Hepatitis B infection, HCV screens for Hepatitis C infection and VDRL screens for syphilis. Positive screening results generally require confirmation through additional testing and specialist evaluation.
Blood Group and Rh Factor 2 tests
Determines the ABO blood group and Rh status. Knowledge of Rh status may be important when planning future pregnancies.
Male Reproductive Health Assessment 1 test
Semen analysis assesses sperm concentration, motility, morphology, semen volume and other semen parameters. It provides information about male reproductive health but does not independently determine fertility potential.
Female Reproductive Health Assessment 1 test
Pelvic ultrasound evaluates the uterus, ovaries and pelvic structures. The scan may help identify certain structural abnormalities that require further assessment.
Specialist Consultation included
For men, a urologist consultation is included. For women, a gynaecologist consultation is included. Your results will be reviewed by an experienced specialist who can provide personalised guidance based on the findings. You can also book an online gynaecologist consultation.
Understanding Key Premarital Tests
HIV Screening
HIV is a viral infection that affects the immune system. Modern treatment has significantly improved long-term outcomes for people living with HIV. Early diagnosis allows appropriate medical care, monitoring and risk-reduction strategies. Because screening tests have a diagnostic window period, additional testing may sometimes be recommended based on individual risk factors and exposure history.
Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C Screening
These viral infections can affect liver health. The table below summarises key points for each.
| Infection | Key Points |
|---|---|
| Hepatitis B | Can be prevented through vaccination, may be acute or chronic, and requires medical evaluation if detected. |
| Hepatitis C | Often causes few symptoms initially, can be treated effectively in many cases, and requires specialist assessment if detected. |
Blood Group and Rh Factor
Blood group differences between partners do not affect compatibility for marriage. However, Rh factor status may be relevant during pregnancy. Modern obstetric care includes effective strategies for managing Rh incompatibility when required.
Semen Analysis
Semen analysis provides useful information regarding male reproductive health. Abnormal results do not necessarily indicate infertility and may require repeat testing or further evaluation before conclusions are drawn.
Pelvic Ultrasound
Pelvic ultrasound helps assess reproductive organs and may identify ovarian cysts, fibroids, structural uterine abnormalities and other pelvic findings requiring follow-up.
