About
What is a Premarital Health Check-up?
A premarital health check-up is a comprehensive health screening for both male and female partners before marriage or starting a family. It helps couples gain a better understanding of their own health and their partner’s condition.
In addition to general health assessment, it also helps prepare for pregnancy planning, reduce potential health risks affecting fertility, and allows doctors to provide personalized medical advice for each couple.

Why It Matters
Why is a premarital health check-up important?
The health of both partners affects married life, family planning, and readiness for having children. A check-up before marriage helps couples gain a clearer understanding of their overall health and allows them to plan proper care earlier.
If any risks are identified, such as infectious diseases, certain communicable conditions, genetic carrier status, or factors related to infertility, doctors can provide guidance on prevention, management, or early treatment planning.

Comprehensive health assessment for both partners
Health screening should include both male and female partners to ensure a complete understanding of the couple’s overall health before starting married life.
Storage & Future Use
How long can it be stored and how is it used?
The sperm freezing process typically takes about 30 minutes per individual. Frozen sperm can later be used in assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF or ICSI in the future.
Preparation
Preparation Before Sperm Freezing
Before sperm collection and cryopreservation, the doctor will assess overall health and provide guidance to ensure the semen sample is of suitable quality for analysis and long-term storage.
Consult a Fertility Specialist
Review medical history, previous treatments, underlying health conditions, and any factors that may affect sperm quality.
Abstain from ejaculation for 2–3 days
To ensure an optimal semen sample for analysis and to accurately assess sperm quality.
Initial screening
A blood test is performed to screen for and detect any underlying conditions or diseases before sperm storage.
Semen collection in a private room
The patient is required to clean beforehand and provide a semen sample in a designated private room using a sterile container provided by the clinic.
Process
Sperm Freezing and Storage Procedure
Transfer to Andrology Laboratory
After collection, the semen sample is transferred to a standardized and sterile andrology laboratory with controlled environmental conditions.
Sperm Quality Analysis
Embryologists evaluate sperm quality, including count, motility, and overall condition, to determine suitability for freezing.
Cryoprotectant Addition
Cryoprotectant is added to prevent ice crystal formation and reduce damage to sperm cells during cooling.
Freezing and Liquid Nitrogen Storage
The sample is rapidly cooled and stored in liquid nitrogen tanks at approximately -196°C for future use in assisted reproductive technologies.
Who Should Consider
Who should consider sperm freezing?
Men undergoing infertility treatment
Suitable for cases where the male partner has difficulty producing a semen sample or is unable to provide a sample on the day it is needed for treatment.
Individuals planning for future parenthood
Suitable for those who are not yet ready to have a partner or have children, but wish to preserve sperm at a time when quality is still optimal.
Individuals with health risks
Such as underlying medical conditions or risks of certain complications that may affect sperm quality in the future.
Patients undergoing cancer treatment
Individuals who require radiation therapy or chemotherapy, which may affect sperm and reproductive function. Sperm freezing should be considered before starting treatment.
Result & Safety
How is frozen sperm used in the future?
Frozen sperm can be thawed and used in assisted reproductive technologies. The procedure should be performed under the supervision of qualified medical professionals in a standardized laboratory to help maintain sperm quality and ensure safety throughout the treatment process.
