Medical test

EDITOR’S PICK: 

Marriage is a lifetime commitment that requires careful consideration. It’s likely that getting married before knowing how one’s health is doing will cause issues down the road. As a result, it’s crucial to be aware of both your and your spouse’s medical histories before deciding to get married.

Well, in this article on EKO HOT BLOG we would be looking at some medical test you should do before eventually getting married.

1. Fertility Test

Many unions are based on the hope of having kids in the future. Such hopes, however, can be dashed if one partner in the partnership is infertile. Intended couples should consider having a fertility test to avoid a bad situation and the emotional roller coaster that goes along with it.

2. Genotype

This test is crucial to take in order to avoid having children who will have sickle-cell disease.

A kid is born with sickle cell disease when both parents carry the trait. The condition is lifelong and fatal. Avoid getting married to someone who also carries the sickle cell gene if you are tested and discover you do. When you do this, there is a chance your child will have the SS genotype.

3. Chronic Diseases

Before getting married, you must be aware of any chronic illnesses you may have. This will help you and your spouse be better prepared to protect one another in the event of an emergency.

Couples will be able to seek medical attention and implement the necessary lifestyle adjustments earlier if chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and kidney impairment are detected early.

4. Mental Health

Both partners must be in sound mental health for a marriage to succeed.

It’s important to be aware of the possibility that some mental health conditions can be passed on to children.

Tests for illnesses like schizophrenia, severe depression, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder are part of mental evaluations.

5. Blood Group

You need to be aware of both your own and your spouse’s blood types. You will have the information necessary to handle emergency circumstances as a result of this.

There is a component known as the Rhesus factor that can be positive or negative in addition to your blood type, which can be Ab, A, O, or B. Rhesus mismatch issues during pregnancy must be avoided when a Rhesus negative woman marries a Rhesus positive man.
