Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna are one of the most loved couples in the industry. Recently, Twinkle Khanna revealed in a show that before marrying Akshay, she made a ‘genetic list’ and investigated about his family and his disease history. In such a situation, we talked to Dr. Rahul Manchanda, Senior Consultant and Endoscopic Gynecologist at PSRI Hospital and found out which tests should couples get done before marriage?
Doctor Dr. Rahul Manchanda says that couples should definitely get a medical test done before marriage. However, there is still not much awareness about this thing in our country. But, if you get some tests done before marriage, then you will already know the things related to health that you are going to know after marriage. By getting these tests done, you will know how right your partner is for you in terms of health?
Get these tests done before marriage:
HIV, HPS antigen and Hepatitis C: To avoid any problems in married life, couples must get tests like HIV, HPS antigen and Hepatitis C done before marriage. These tests tell whether the man and woman are completely healthy or not
.
Thalassemia test: Thalassemia is a genetic disease, which is passed on to children from their parents. It is possible that both parents may not have it. But if this disease is present in the family history, then the chances of it occurring in their children increase. Children face many problems due to thalassemia. Children suffering from thalassemia produce less blood in their body. Children suffering from thalassemia are given blood transfusion every month. Therefore, if such problems are diagnosed before marriage, then it is beneficial for the future.
If both couples get medical tests done before marriage and pay attention to the information of family’s medical history, then they can take better decisions related to their married life. Therefore, couples should definitely go to the doctor and get some of these tests done before marriage. Women should get themselves tested and men should get themselves tested. By doing this, you can save yourself from many problems in the future.
