We live in chennai. We got married just before 10 days. Both me and my partner would like to do a complete health check up because we would like to have a baby in a year. May i know what kind of tests needed and also the name of the tests which should be taken to know if we are healthy enough to go for child now?
Hello, thank you for posting your query to Chat Doctor. The regular checkups for the wife to undergo before planning to conceive are-An ultrasound of the lower abdomen (to check for possible cysts)Complete thyroid function test hematology (for checking blood hemoglobin levels etc.) The husband could get a semen culture done. Apart from this, both the partners can get tests done for STDs like V Chat Doctor.  Also, you should both get your blood sugar levels tested. Apart from this, adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes eating healthy food, exercising regularly and staying happy and stress-free. Later, if at all you face problems in conceiving you could go in for a hormonal assay.
