What You Need to Know About Preconception Health Screening
Preconception screening is a comprehensive health check designed for women and couples who are planning to conceive. It aims to identify any underlying medical, infectious, or genetic conditions that could affect fertility, pregnancy outcomes, or the health of the baby.
This proactive screening allows both partners to take early measures to optimise reproductive health and reduce the risk of preventable complications.
Why Preconception Screening Matters for Your Pregnancy
Preconception screening is important because many health conditions show no symptoms until they cause complications during pregnancy. Screening before conception gives you the best chance to prepare your health and protect your baby.
With preconception health screening, you can:
Identify and manage chronic health conditions (e.g. diabetes, thyroid disorders)
Detect infections (e.g. hepatitis, rubella, STDs) that can impact fertility or the baby
Assess immunity status and vaccination needs (e.g. rubella, varicella)
Screen for inherited genetic conditions
Optimise your health before pregnancy
Who Should Consider Preconception Screening?
Preconception screening is suitable for:
Women or couples planning to conceive within the next 12 months
Women with irregular periods, previous miscarriages, or fertility concerns
Couples with a family history of genetic conditions
Women with chronic medical conditions (e.g. thyroid, diabetes, epilepsy)
Women above 35 who may face age-related fertility challenges
If you’re unsure whether preconception testing is right for you, our doctors can guide you during a confidential consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Preconception Screening
When Should I Do A Preconception Screening?
Preferably 3–6 months before trying to conceive. This allows enough time to manage any health issues and get vaccinated if needed.
Do Both Partners Need Preconception Screening?
It’s ideal. Men can also be screened for infections, STDs, and hereditary conditions to ensure both partners are in optimal health.
Is This Screening Only For First-time Mothers?
No, it benefits any woman planning to conceive, even if she has had children before. Updated health checks help prepare for a safe pregnancy at any stage.
Is Preconception Screening The Same As Fertility Testing?
No. Preconception screening is for couples planning pregnancy, while fertility testing is more focused on why pregnancy hasn’t occurred. If you’re actively trying without success, you may need a different workup.
What If Something Abnormal Is Found During The Screening?
Our doctors will walk you through the findings in detail and guide you on next steps — whether it’s vaccination, further evaluation, or referral. Not all findings mean a problem, but early detection gives you more control.
