For most people, the joy of finding true love and deciding to go into matrimony with a spouse usually knows no bound. However, most people enter into this lifelong union without adequate knowledge of their partner’s health status and so become disappointed and frustrated with marriage because of medical conditions that could have been identified and tackled before this lifelong commitment.

The knowledge of your intending partner’s health status by no means implies that marriage is not possible but it gives you an avenue to make informed consent and it enables you and your spouse seek proper medical care early to prevent unnecessary stress and burden during marriage.

Below are pre-wedding medical tests you should do before you getting married.

1-Genotype test

2-Blood group test

3-HIV test

4-Hepatitis B and C

5-Sexually transmitted diseases

6-Fertility test(Sperm count & ovulation_pelvic floor check)

7-Possible chronic genetic disorder

8-Thalassemia test

9-Mental health assessment

10-Torches screen

Nice, this is what should be on the FT.


First time here tho, am I to expect something from the mods?

Okay

That HIV test is very important

Nice...

Correct
Me and my spouse did 3, 5 and 6 before getting married.
I strongly recommend those tests.
Please guys stay safe.
Remember: life is sweeter than pússy.

After doing all these, are you guaranteed 50 years together? Are you guaranteed a blissful married life? Will both of you be forever sickness/infection/disease free?
1 & 3 are the only important things to do, the rest are just necessary!

What's wrong with pre-wedding pictures?

Some people have the presence of mind to do these are tests and also take pre- wedding pictures.

Tests 1-4 are the key tests.

In short, a person is a confirmed joker if (s)he wants to get married and hasn't done these tests.

IMHO...

On a lighter note, most Nigerians would fail test 9.

what baffles me most is that most of our grand parents never did this test and their marriages still turned out well but this generation even with all the tests sha ...

these tests are necessary and there should be a sensitization program to tell the youths about this .. love does not cover it all sometimes

Before this thread gets out there, let me comment by saying that it is neither cost effective, necessary or practical to routinely do tests no 6 - 10

Genotype, Yes! Others necessary and important but you should note that one isn't a victim now doesn't mean one can't be later.

Some people are victims not as a result of their own carelessness, promiscuity or infidelity. I have met quite a number of absolutely decent ladies that were abused in their early age by People their parents trusted (Housemaids, Uncles etc) and they are victims of some of the aforementioned. Then according to your list they don't deserve a chance to be happy.

However, remember, some of the things listed might actually surface later in life even if it was never so initially.

Fertility? I laugh in swahili. So you never see where person dey fertile before marriage and after marriage the story change?




My humble submission;

Ask God for a partner that would bring blessings to your life (some partners would test negative to all these and would bring doom to your life by default, Yes, by default! Regrets, retrogression, trauma and even eventually turning you directly or indirectly to a victim of some of the things you listed), who would live with you for ever seeing your great Children bringing forth another great Children, leaving a fulfilled and healthy long life.

All these tests? You didn't break them down by going into details.So,which one is torches screen and thassa........?

You meant to say hemoglobin genotype I guess.

BTW have anyone seen any Nigerian with Thalassemia just wondering...

Sure, there are.
Tho depending on the type of thalassemia you're referring to.
Type 4 alpha thalassemia is common tho as compared to others

Where do they do the test in the whole of Nigeria?

Hospitals

I do not agree with 6. Which one is checking fertility again? What if after checking it and you are both okay eventually you don't have babies, what will you do?

Oh....since it's carried out on pregnant women,why should it be listed as a pre-wedding test?

You don't get the logic.
Not until you both are married before she becomes pregnant? Hence how do you carry out the test?

What is the point of doing ANY TEST after phocking for 20 years before marriage?

Did quite a number of studies on haemoglobinopathies and so thalassaemia was not seen as a nigerian issue.
Alpha thalassemia is not an issue to bother about since its rarely of significance medical concern. Seriously thalassaemia should bother Asians just as SS Africans.
