Premarital Screening

Premarital screening in Singapore provides couples with essential insights into their health before marriage. This comprehensive assessment helps detect genetic, infectious, or chronic conditions, including STDs, that could impact the couple’s health and the well-being of future children. By identifying these risks early, couples can seek treatment, plan accordingly, and ensure a healthy start to both marriage and family life.

What Does Premarital Screening Involve?

Premarital screening includes a comprehensive range of tests to assess a couple’s overall health and identify any risks that may impact their future together, especially when planning for children.

  • Blood Group & Rhesus Factor: Identifies blood type compatibility to prevent complications like haemolytic disease in newborns.
  • Genetic Screening: Detects hereditary conditions like thalassemia.
  • STD Screening: Tests for sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B, and Syphilis.
  • Rubella Immunity Test: Crucial for women to avoid complications during pregnancy.
  • Full Blood Count: Evaluates overall health and identifies potential disorders.
  • Urine Test: Screens for urinary tract infections or kidney issues.
  • Fertility-related Tests: Hormonal assessments or semen analysis, particularly if fertility is a concern.

By undergoing these tests, couples can make informed decisions regarding treatments and family planning, ensuring a healthy marriage and family life.

When Should Couples Undergo Premarital Screening?

Premarital screening should ideally be done several months before marriage, allowing time for treatments, follow-up consultations, or health planning. In Singapore, it’s particularly useful for identifying genetic conditions like thalassemia, as well as infections that could impact fertility or pregnancy. Married couples, especially those planning for children, can also benefit from these screenings.

In addition, fertility test evaluates both partners’ reproductive health, including hormone levels, ovulation, and sperm quality. This comprehensive approach helps identify potential challenges early, ensuring couples can take proactive steps in family planning.

FAQs: For Premarital Screening

Premarital screening is a health check-up designed to identify genetic, infectious, and chronic conditions in both partners. It’s important because it helps detect potential health risks that could impact a couple’s future or their plans for having children.

Our Eternity package covers essential health checks, including blood group, genetic disorders (like thalassemia), and screening for infectious diseases (HIV, Hepatitis B, Syphilis). For couples planning to start a family, the Eternity+ package offers additional fertility tests, including hormone levels, ovulation tracking, and semen analysis to provide a comprehensive assessment.

Screening results are typically available within 2 to 3 working days. Once the results are ready, we will schedule a consultation to go over the findings and discuss any necessary next steps.

Yes, premarital screening is beneficial even for married couples, particularly if you are planning to start a family or simply want a thorough health assessment.

No, premarital screening is beneficial for all couples, even if they are not planning to have children immediately. It helps assess overall health, identify potential risks, and allows partners to be fully informed about each other’s health status before marriage.

If an issue is detected, our clinic will guide you through the appropriate next steps, such as treatment options, lifestyle changes, or referrals to specialists, ensuring proactive management of any health concerns.

These infections can have significant long-term health impacts and may be transmitted between partners or to future children. Early detection through screening allows couples to take necessary precautions, seek treatment, and reduce the risk of transmission. Identifying these conditions early ensures both partners are fully informed and can make responsible health decisions before starting a family.

A Full Blood Count (FBC) is a test that measures various components of your blood, including red blood cells, white blood cells, hemoglobin levels, and platelets. It helps detect conditions like anemia, infections, and blood disorders. Including this test in premarital screening ensures that both partners have a clear understanding of their overall health, particularly in identifying any underlying issues that could affect fertility, pregnancy, or general well-being.

ABO Blood Group testing determines your blood type and Rhesus factor, which are important for pregnancy. Rh incompatibility between partners can lead to complications, so knowing your blood type helps prevent risks during pregnancy and childbirth.

In Singapore, around 3% to 5% of the population are carriers of the thalassemia gene. A Thalassemia screen detects whether you or your partner are carriers of this genetic disorder. If both partners are carriers, there is a risk of having a child with thalassemia major, a severe condition that requires lifelong medical care. Early detection helps couples make informed decisions, such as seeking genetic counseling or exploring family planning options to reduce the risk of passing on the disorder.

The Rubella Antibody test checks whether a woman is immune to rubella (German measles), a virus that can cause serious complications if contracted during pregnancy, including birth defects or miscarriage. In Singapore, this test is crucial as part of premarital screening to ensure women are protected before they conceive. If immunity is low, vaccination can be administered before pregnancy to prevent complications.
