Important Pre-Conception Tests: Women are at greater risk of many problems during pregnancy and treatment during pregnancy becomes difficult. Pregnancy is a very sensitive time for women. During this time, it is very important to pay attention to the health of both mother and child. Many times women become pregnant without getting the necessary tests done, which can increase complications in pregnancy. Doctors believe that getting some special tests done before starting pregnancy not only improves the health of the mother, but also reduces the risk of complications in the fetus.

Dr. Sonali Gupta, founder and senior gynecologist of Bliss IVF and Gynecology Care Clinic, Greater Noida, told News18. That all women must get their blood test done before pregnancy. This test reveals problems like anemia, blood group and thyroid. Blood test also reveals iron and vitamin deficiency, which can be corrected in time. If thyroid or other hormonal problems are detected on time, the risk of complications during pregnancy is significantly reduced. It is also difficult to treat these problems during pregnancy.

The doctor told that it is very important to check sugar and diabetes before pregnancy. If blood sugar level is not controlled during pregnancy, both the pregnant woman and the child can be at risk. This helps in taking precautions and making necessary changes at the time of pregnancy itself. Sugar level can be kept under control during pregnancy by improving diet plan and lifestyle. Apart from this, problems like ovulation, PCOS or hormonal imbalance in women can be detected through fertility test. Through this test, it can be understood whether the woman’s body is completely ready for pregnancy or not. Hormone tests reveal the status of FSH, LH, prolactin and thyroid. By getting this test done on time, problems can be avoided in future.

Women should also get immunity and infection tests done before pregnancy. Before pregnancy, testing for hepatitis B, HIV, rubella and other infectious diseases is necessary. This reduces the risk of any infection during pregnancy and the child remains safe. Timely vaccination is also important. Apart from this, ultrasound and examination of reproductive organs before pregnancy can ensure that the uterus and ovaries are completely healthy. This may reveal problems with the fallopian tubes or other structural problems. If this problem is understood in time, proper treatment can be done and there is no problem in conceiving in future.
