What is a bridal check?
A bridal check is a gynecological examination to check for illnesses and infectious diseases related to pregnancy and childbirth . In other words, the bridal check is not to check whether you can get pregnant, but to check if there are any factors that make it difficult to get pregnant.
Many people get a bridal check before getting married, but it is a good test for women who wish to become pregnant or give birth in the future regardless of the timing. If a gynecological disease or infection is found, it can be treated well in advance of future marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth.
Difference from infertility test
The bridal check and the infertility test are different in terms of the purpose of the test and the required time .
The purpose of the bridal check is to find out if there are any diseases or infections that adversely affect the mother's body or fetus. On the other hand, the purpose of infertility testing is to "examine the cause and extent of infertility."
In addition, bridal check is basically completed in one time, but infertility test may take time to identify the cause and may require multiple visits to the hospital.
A bridal checkup is suitable if you want to have a physical examination related to pregnancy and childbirth after getting married or engaged, and an infertility test is effective if you want to deeply investigate the cause of infertility.
Let's decide the necessary examination for yourself considering each purpose and required time.

The bridal check allows you to check not only gynecological diseases, but also your overall health.
Timing for bridal check
You can take a bridal check before or after marriage, but if you wish to become pregnant in the future, it is recommended to have a checkup as soon as possible.
By seeing a doctor early, even if something is found, it can be treated early. For example, if you do not have antibodies to rubella or measles, you need to be vaccinated. In addition, if a disease or abnormality that leads to infertility is found, treatment is necessary.
Especially before wedding preparations and moving, it will be busy, so let's have a bridal check with plenty of time.
Where can I get a bridal check?
Bridal checks are available at hospitals and ladies clinics with gynecology and internal medicine departments. Not all gynecologists can carry out the test, so be sure to check the website or make an inquiry by phone in advance.
Depending on the hospital, you may be able to have a pair of bridal checks with your partner, but there are also hospitals that do not perform bridal checks for men. In that case, you may be able to have an examination at a urology department, so we recommend that you inquire at a nearby hospital.
About the cost of the bridal check
The cost of a bridal check varies depending on the medical institution, but the standard is 15,000 to 30,000 yen . The price varies depending on the examination items, so be sure to consult with your doctor or nurse and choose a plan that suits you.
The bridal check requires an examination at a hospital or clinic, but since it is not covered by insurance, the examination cost is basically paid by yourself. However, some examinations, such as cervical cancer, may be subsidized by the local government, so be sure to check before you undergo the examination.
