Why it is important to undergo a checkup before conception
Preparing for pregnancy is not only about examining the woman. The man’s health can also affect conception, the course of pregnancy, and potential risks for the future child.
Detect hidden infections
Some infections may have no symptoms, but they can affect reproductive health and the safety of both partners.
Reduce risks when planning pregnancy
Early detection of abnormalities allows you to consult a doctor in time and prepare for conception more consciously.
