Preconception Health Checkup Package
Planning for a baby is a beautiful decision, and your health plays a vital role in ensuring a safe and healthy pregnancy. A Preconception Health Checkup Package helps prepare your body by detecting issues like thyroid imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, diabetes, or hormonal problems that may affect conception or increase pregnancy risks. Even if you feel healthy, early screening makes a big difference.
At Medicover Hospitals, we believe the best way to welcome new life is by first optimizing your own health. Our Preconception Health Checkup Package is designed to give couples a complete understanding of their physical and reproductive health, ensuring a confident and healthy start to parenthood.
Why Should You Get a Health Checkup Before Planning a Pregnancy?
A health checkup before pregnancy is a proactive step that gives you peace of mind and helps ensure the best start for you and your future baby, because a healthy pregnancy begins with a healthy you.
- Detect hidden health issues early (thyroid, diabetes, vitamin deficiencies, hormonal imbalances)
- Assess fertility and reproductive health for both partners
- Check hereditary or genetic risk factors
- Review current lifestyle, medications and habits that may need adjustment
- Ensure nutritional balance and prepare your body for a healthy pregnancy

When Should You Consider a Preconception Health Checkup?
Sometimes, health issues that affect fertility or pregnancy don't show up until you start trying. A female preconception health package or couple’s checkup can give you clarity early on.
Consider a preconception health checkup if you notice:
- Irregular or missed periods: This could point to a hormonal imbalance or ovulation problem.
- Sudden weight changes: Unexplained weight gain or loss can affect hormones, cycles and overall health.
- Difficulty conceiving: If you've been trying for 6-12 months without success, it’s worth exploring possible causes.
- Ongoing fatigue or low energy: Could be linked to anemia, thyroid issues, or nutritional deficiencies.
- Signs of hormonal imbalance: Acne, excess hair growth, or hair thinning may suggest conditions like PCOS or thyroid disorders.
- Past pregnancy loss or complications: A careful health review can help reduce risks before trying again.
- Chronic illnesses: Conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease or asthma should be well-managed before pregnancy.
- Emotional health concerns: Anxiety, depression, or stress are essential to address, since mental well-being matters just as much as physical health during parenthood.
