Six Important Tests You Have To Carried Out Before You Marry Him Or Her. by adebayo201: 8:47pm On Jul 13, 2015 |
When it comes to marriage,a number of people go all out to check for the compatibility of horoscopes or kundalis. But there is something more important than checking for the compatibility of your stars – it’s your physical and mental health. Most of us tend to overlook the health aspect of a marriage, forgetting that it is one of the most integral parts of a happy relationship. Getting tested before tying the knot is probably the wisest thing you can do. While, we don’t encourage you to treat it as a fault finding mission, it is important that both you and your partner get tested for a variety of conditions before you tie the knot. It will not only help you know about the possible hurdles, but will also help you learn about how you can deal with it in the long run. Below are the six tests you have to do: 1.Genotype Test To know if you or your partner carry any genes that could manifest as a disease in your children. The genotype are AA, AS and SS. Only a little of blood sample is needed for this test. 2.Sexual Transmitted Diseases Test It is best that you both know your health status when it concerns these diseases. While HIV is life threatening, other STDs like hepatitis C, herpes, gonorrhoea, etc. are something you will have to live with all your life; not to mention the risk of your child getting affected by it. So doing the test – no matter how much your partner promises that he/she has not had any unprotected sexual contact – is important. Also, little blood sample and physical examination is needed for this test. 3.Blood Group Test When it comes to blood groups it is essential that you both have the same Rh factor (Rhesus factor). That means the positive or negative sign that follows your blood groups ( if you have a blood group of O positive your Rh factor is positive, and if your partner has a blood group of B negative, he/she has a negative Rh factor). This information is essential especially during pregnancy, as a mother and baby of opposite Rh factors could lead to severe complications and even death of the baby. Simple blood sample is needed for this test especially from your finger. 4.Infertility Screening Some people believe that doing this test can cause more harm than good, but it is always better to be aware than to be shocked or disappointed after marriage. Since sexual intimacy is the cornerstone of a good marriage, it is important to know if you both can have a normal sex life and even procreate if you want. For women, these tests might take a day to do. It will include a blood test and in cases where you have to be tested for PCOS, you will have to undergo an ultrasound. In the case of men all they have to provide is a semen sample. 5.Chronic Disorder This includes long term conditions like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, etc. While, all these are manageable conditions they have serious implications for a marriage. This investigation takes longer than the normal blood test. So invest in a thorough check up. It is very likely that you will end up catching the problem early and nipping it in the bud. 6.Psychology Test Would you know, just by looking at a person that he/she has a mental illness? Or that he/ she suffers from depression, schizophrenia or even a personality disorder? The answer is quite clearly no. So, here is what you need to do, get yourself and your partner tested. While, testing for mental illness includes checking for conditions like schizophrenia, depression, mood disorders, mania, etc. the tests should also include behavioural and personality disorders. This test is called a psychometric test and usually takes a day to do. To do the analysis, a clinical psychologist will administer tests like multiple choice questions, picture analysis etc. that you have to answer. It is simple and your identity will be kept under wraps if you desire. In the end, getting married should be a happy occasion, but it is important to remember that it is a lifelong commitment and knowing what you are getting into,‘health wise’ is the best way to succeed. www.thehealthsite.com/diseases-conditions/forget-horoscopes-here-are-the-tests-you-really-need-to-take-before-marriage/ cc: lalasticlala, Ishilove... 1 Share

After all the tests, you got married to her and you later found out she has a very low libido. Besides What's the essence of doing the whole test when at the end you can't enjoy sweet and quality sex. Libido test should be on that list too, in fact it should be number 1. 2 Likes |
