Complete examination before pregnancy in reproductive medicine clinics

The birth of a healthy child is the result of a conscious approach to family planning and timely medical diagnostics. In reproductive medicine clinics, pre-pregnancy examinations are conducted considering the individual characteristics of the woman's body, which helps minimize risks and increase the likelihood of successful conception and the birth of a healthy child.

Why do I need a pre-pregnancy examination?

A comprehensive approach to preconception testing allows for the identification of potential risks and the development of a personalized pregnancy management plan. This is particularly important for women who suffer from chronic diseases, infectious diseases, or who have difficulties conceiving. Additionally, screening for many infections before pregnancy is a mandatory step in preparing for assisted reproductive techniques (ART), such as IVF (in vitro fertilization):

• IVF (in vitro fertilization) - a method in which the fertilization of the egg occurs outside the woman's body, and the embryo is then transferred to the woman's uterus.
• IVF with egg donation - suitable for women who do not have healthy eggs.
• IVF with double donation - performed in cases where donor eggs and sperm are needed.

The main steps of the examination

1. Primary diagnosis

• Consultation with a general practitioner - analysis of family history, health assessment, identification of chronic diseases.
• Obstetrician-gynecologist - gynecological examination, swab for infections, and cytology.
• Pelvic organ ultrasound - determination of the condition of the uterus, ovaries, identification of possible pathologies.

2. Laboratory tests

• General blood and urine analysis - overall assessment and detection of inflammatory processes.
• Hormonal analyses - levels of estradiol, progesterone, prolactin, TSH, LH, FSH, and other hormones affecting fertility.
• Screening for sexually transmitted infections - testing for chlamydia, ureaplasma, mycoplasma, papillomavirus, and other infections.
• TORCH complex - diagnosis of antibodies against toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes virus.
• Determination of vitamin levels - including folic acid and vitamin D, necessary for the normal development of the fetus.

3. Additional examinations

• Genetic tests - detection of mutations that may affect the child's development.
• Caryotype of partners - analysis of possible genetic anomalies.
• Coagulogram - study of blood coagulation, particularly important when planning a pregnancy.
• Consultations with other specialists - in the presence of endocrine, cardiological, or other diseases.
