In October 2003, the government abolished the mandatory premarital medical examination and made premarital medical examination a voluntary medical examination item. Marriage does not require premarital medical examination. But premarital medical examination is of great significance as it can provide medical support for a happy life after marriage, so it is necessary.
1、 Promote premarital physical examination
1. The premarital medical examination system in our country began in 1986 and was strengthened in 1995. At that time, premarital medical examination was a mandatory physical examination item and one of the necessary materials for obtaining a marriage certificate. In October 2003, China abolished the mandatory premarital medical examination system and changed it from "mandatory" to "voluntary", making premarital medical examination no longer a necessary condition for obtaining a marriage certificate.
2. Although premarital medical examination is not a mandatory physical examination item, it has a very important significance and is beneficial without any harm. It can promptly detect physical illnesses in both parties, identify factors that prevent marriage, and provide protection for the couple's post marital life.
2、 The benefits of premarital check ups
1. Pre marital checkups can detect hidden diseases on both parties' bodies, achieve early diagnosis and treatment, provide security for the newlyweds' married life, and also provide scientific protection for the health of the next generation.
2. The premarital examination will determine the genetic rate of diseases in both families based on the examination results of the newlyweds, help them estimate the health index and disease probability of the next generation of children, and provide scientific advice to achieve eugenics and good parenting.
3. During the premarital examination, the doctor will popularize pregnancy and contraception knowledge for the newlyweds according to their needs, and propose a reasonable conception time based on their physical condition.
