In October 2003, the country promulgated the new Marriage Registration Regulations, which abolished the mandatory pre marital physical examination provisions in the Marriage Registration Management Regulations and the Maternal and Child Health Care Law. Therefore, the current pre marital physical examination is a voluntary act and not mandatory. But there are many advantages to premarital medical examination, and it is necessary to undergo a physical examination before marriage.
The role of premarital medical examination
1. Beneficial for the health of both parties and the next generation. Through a comprehensive pre marital physical examination, abnormal conditions can be detected and treated in a timely manner, effectively avoiding unhealthy problems in the next generation.
2. Beneficial for eugenics and improving national quality. Through the inquiry of family history, investigation of family lineage, analysis of genealogy, and combined with physical examination results, premarital medical examination can make a clear diagnosis of certain genetic defects and calculate the risk level of "affecting the next generation of eugenics", which can greatly reduce the risk of childbirth and help both parties to make marriage and childbirth decisions.
3. It is beneficial to actively and effectively grasp the timing of conception and contraceptive methods. Doctors will choose the best time for conception or contraceptive methods based on the health status, physiological conditions, and birth plans of both parties, guide people to implement effective measures, master scientific techniques, and achieve the goal of eugenics.
