Planning a Pregnancy: What Tests Should You Do Before Conception?

planning a pregnancy

Planning a pregnancy is a responsible step that helps future parents reduce the risk of complications and prepare the woman’s body for carrying a baby. Preconception testing allows doctors to detect hidden conditions, correct health issues, and create the best conditions for a safe and healthy pregnancy.

At KindCare Medical Center, consultations are carried out by Dr. Surayo Nazarova — an experienced obstetrician-gynecologist, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Associate Professor, and a specialist with over 30 years of practice. She performs comprehensive diagnostics and helps every woman prepare for pregnancy in the safest and most comfortable way.

Why Preconception Testing is Important

Many women think about visiting a gynecologist only after pregnancy begins. However, it is best to undergo a check-up in advance. This allows you to:

  • detect and treat chronic diseases;
  • prevent possible complications during pregnancy;
  • evaluate the reproductive health of both partners.

Essential Tests for Women

A gynecologist usually recommends the following tests before conception:

  1. Complete blood count and biochemistry — to determine blood group and Rh factor, and to evaluate overall health.
  2. Infection screening (TORCH panel, STIs) — to rule out infections dangerous during pregnancy.
  3. Hormonal profile (TSH, prolactin, sex hormones) — to assess the endocrine system.
  4. Pelvic ultrasound — to detect uterine and ovarian pathologies.
  5. Colposcopy — detailed examination of the cervix.
  6. Pap smear (cytology) — to rule out precancerous and cancerous changes.

Tests for Men

Planning a pregnancy is not only a woman’s responsibility. For men, it is important to:

  • undergo a spermogram;
  • get tested for infections;
  • consult a urologist if necessary.

 

Additional Examinations

Depending on the health status, the doctor may recommend:

  • genetic testing (if indicated);
  • consultations with an endocrinologist, cardiologist, or other specialists;
  • vaccinations (against rubella, hepatitis B, etc.).

Why It’s Important to See an Experienced Gynecologist

Dr. Surayo Nazarova supports her patients at every stage — from the first consultation and tests to choosing the optimal time for conception. With modern equipment and a comprehensive approach, KindCare Medical Center provides the safest preparation for pregnancy.
