Premarital medical examination is the first line of defense to reduce birth defects, prevent infectious diseases and improve the quality of the birth population. Very necessary. Yu, deputy dean of Huairou District Maternal and Child Health Hospital, said.

China's maternal and child health care once pointed out that premarital examination is an important part of the comprehensive strategy of "three-level prevention" of birth defects, and it has obvious advantages in implementing folic acid supplementation and reducing birth defects in newborn's nervous system. In addition, premarital examination is an important means to find and prevent genetic diseases, and it has obvious preventive effect on diseases such as thalassemia and hereditary deafness. At the same time, premarital examination is an effective way to control the spread of infectious diseases, which can effectively prevent the transmission of infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and AIDS between spouses and vertical transmission from mother to child. The premarital examination can also find reproductive system diseases mainly caused by reproductive tract infection in time, and the premarital examination doctors can give reasonable health education and necessary medical guidance according to the characteristics of the diseases.
