What the premarital checkup includes

STI and fertility tests

We check for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that could pass to a partner or affect pregnancy and childbirth, and assess sperm count, shape and motility to help with family planning.

Urinary tract tests

Various tests check the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra, which make and carry urine, as well as the male reproductive organs, for any problems.

Prostate check

A check that young men need too. Ultrasound, blood tests and prostatic fluid tests are used to check the health of the prostate.

Basic blood tests

Cholesterol, triglycerides, electrolytes, liver function and more are checked to review your current health, which can help keep problems from developing into serious conditions.

Male sexual function tests

We check for symptoms of sexual dysfunction, such as premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction, and run tests to find the cause. Testing also includes testosterone and growth hormone levels.
