Overview
A treatment should match the diagnosis.
A premarital health consultation is not a “fitness certificate” for marriage. It is an opportunity for consenting adults to discuss health history, sexual wellbeing, contraception, fertility questions and appropriate screening with a clinician. Testing should be based on risk, informed consent and current guidelines.
What the approach may support
- Discuss sexual health questions before marriage
- Review relevant screening based on history and risk
- Plan contraception or fertility conversations
- Build informed communication between partners
Who may be considered
Suitability is individual.
For consenting adults who want a structured health conversation before marriage or a long-term partnership.
Shared decision-making
Questions to ask before starting
- What diagnosis or treatment goal is this addressing?
- What is the quality of evidence for my specific situation?
- What are the alternatives, limitations, costs and possible side effects?
- How will we know whether it is helping, and when will we review progress?
