Can a premarital check-up reveal infertility?

Having a cute and healthy baby is the common wish of every couple, but due to congenital or acquired factors, some couples cannot realize this wish, leading to a lifetime of pain. So is it possible to detect infertility during a premarital checkup? A well-known website once conducted a survey on this issue, and half of the respondents believed that a premarital checkup could detect infertility, while half believed that it could not.

So from a scientific point of view, what should be the result? Since there are many factors that lead to infertility, and both spouses may be infertile themselves, the premarital examination can only detect infertility caused by some of the reasons. For example, organic lesions of some organs and congenital uterine defects in women can be detected, and infertility can be determined by checking the level of endocrine hormones.

However, a marriage examination is only a routine check on the physical health of both men and women. It can only check whether there are any abnormalities in the reproductive organs of both men and women. It cannot detect infertility in men and women caused by other factors. If you need to do this kind of examination, you can go to a specialized medical institution to check the development of the female ovaries and the internal related molecular levels, fallopian tubes and follicles to see if they are normal.

These specialized medical institutions can also check the male's sperm quality, semen routine, and other aspects, as well as the factors that cause infertility in both men and women, such as chromosomes, endocrine, immune antibodies, etc. Therefore, it is not possible to comprehensively check whether a couple is infertile through a general premarital examination. This can only be achieved through infertility examination in a specialized hospital.

Although a premarital examination cannot completely detect infertility, it is beneficial to the physical health of both husband and wife. It is the key to reducing genetic diseases and reducing the transmission of physical defects and unhealthy factors to offspring. It is an important measure to achieve eugenics and good parenting for the next generation. Therefore, for the happiness of you and your loved one after marriage and the health of the next generation, you should actively and proactively undergo a premarital examination.
