Pre-marital Health Screening Plan
誰應接受婚前健康檢查計劃？
婚前檢查的主要目的是幫助即將結婚的伴侶更了解他們的健康狀況。結婚標誌著兩人共同開創充滿喜悅的新開始，包括計劃生育下一代。而這份承諾，建基於夫婦倆人擁有健康的身體，且沒有受到傳染病的感染而影響自身或下一代的健康。
事實上，準夫婦可考慮採取一些疾病預防的措施，如接種以往未曾注射的預防疫苗（例如乙型肝炎預防疫苗）等。此外，懷孕對部份夫婦可能構成巨大壓力，如能及早進行基本身體評估，便可在小生命來臨前做好充分的準備。
婚前健康檢查計劃的特點
我們的醫生將與準夫婦進行面談以仔細了解他們的病史，提出值得關注的健康狀況以及為他們進行全面的身體檢查。此外，醫生還會為準夫婦提供有關健康管理和計劃生育的實用建議。
計劃中的血液檢查涵蓋多種檢查項目，包括血液常規檢驗、血型、心血管病風險篩查、糖尿病篩查、腎功能、肝功能和甲狀腺功能等檢測。
醫生會為準夫婦測試是否已患上常見的傳染病，例如乙型肝炎，梅毒及愛滋病等。女性亦會接受德國麻疹抗體測試，如發現抗體水平偏低，可能會建議她接受加強劑注射。此外，夫婦倆均會接受覆蓋整個腹部的超聲波檢查，女士會另外進行乳房超聲波掃描，而男性則會接受精液分析以評估其生育能力。
此檢查計劃的一個重要特色是包含了血紅蛋白成份分析 (Haemoglobin Pattern)，這檢測可準確診斷地中海貧血。如只進行一般血液常規檢驗，有機會遺漏了這些重要遺傳病。
另外，醫學數字顯示約有3％的嬰兒在出生時會出現異常的情況，而當中約有20％的異常是由單基因遺傳疾病所引起。這些遺傳性的疾病現在可通過計劃中的自選檢測項目 - 遺傳病隱性基因篩選(Genetic Carrier Screening) 被檢測出來，令新婚夫婦在計劃生育前可及早了解潛在的風險。
Who should have the Pre-marital Health Screening Plan?
The Pre-marital check-up aims to help about-to-wed couples gain a better understanding of their health. Getting married marks a new start in a committed life of two persons and there will be lots of excitement in the path including but not limiting to having a baby. Being part of the commitment, the couple needs to ensure they are both enjoying good health and free from common infectious diseases. Precautions like hepatitis B vaccination can be updated if necessary. Preparing for conceiving can be a stressful event and it is certainly worthwhile to have some basic assessment early on so that they are well prepared when the timing arises.
Highlights of our Pre-marital Health Screening Plan
Our doctors will meet the couple in order to carefully understand their medical history, identify possible health issues as well as conducting a thorough physical examination. Practical advice relating to general health and family planning will also be provided by our doctors.
The blood tests will cover complete blood count, blood grouping,cardiovascular risk screening, diabetes screening, renal function, hepatic function and thyroid function.
Common infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, syphilis and HIV are screened. Female is tested for rubella antibody and booster injection may be recommended if the antibody level is low. Ultrasound of the whole abdomen for both sexes as well as ultrasound breast for women will also be included in our imaging service. Semen analysis will be arranged for evaluation of male fertility.
A special feature of this package is that we include the study of haemoglobin pattern for identification of thalassemia that can be missed if only complete blood count is conducted.
As about 3% of babies are born with abnormalities and around 20% of these abnormal births are caused by single-gene disorders that can be detected by our optional genetic carrier screening, newlyweds can understand their potential risks when they are planning for future pregnancy by conducting this screening.
