Marriage is another word for marriage, and it refers to the ceremony or plan for two people to become a couple. Unlike common cohabitation or romantic relationships, it has the characteristic of having social binding powers. When married, both men and women become married, and since ancient times it has been regarded as the smallest unit of a family.
As a result, it is often regarded as one of the most important events in a person’s life. In the past, it was mainly decided by the adults of the family, such as parents, but in modern times, it tends to be carried out according to free love and will.
Also, when you get married, you naturally have a plan for the second generation. Whether to have a child or not is a matter of opinion between the parties, but if you are planning to have a child, you should thoroughly manage your health in advance. In recent years, both men and women undergo wedding checkups to prepare for marriage and pregnancy.
In other words, in order to prepare for a healthy sex life, pregnancy and childbirth, both the bride and groom check their health and overcome any problems.
Since there are many different types of examinations, it is recommended to proceed through consultation with a medical professional. During the examination, cervical liquid cells, cervix, ultrasound, etc., as well as AIDS virus and syphilis serum, can be checked.
In the case of PCR, it is performed to distinguish various sexually transmitted diseases. Gonorrhea, Gardnerella, HPV, etc. are checked collectively to find out if there is a sexually transmitted infection. In addition, it is important to confirm the type of disease that can be transmitted to the fetus, such as rubella or hepatitis, in advance, as well as before pregnancy.
Examination items may be changed depending on the individual’s health status, sexual contact, and disease in question. Therefore, it is important to proceed through consultation. In the case of women, as they directly conceive a child and the accompanying physical and mental changes are diverse, it should be done more thoroughly.
If there are no problems, you can have a smooth daily life, but if you have a disease, you need to improve it right away to reduce the impact on your health, so it is better to set it as leisurely as possible.
Unlike the past, the average age of marriage and childbirth in modern times is gradually increasing. There are many factors that need to be prepared for a smooth marriage life and a plan for the second generation. At the very least, if you are a prospective couple with children, it is necessary to check in advance by going through a checkup. In the case of unmarried women, it is important to detect and manage the disease in advance, as there is a lack of awareness of the disease, so even if there is a disease, it is neglected.
