BEFORE YOU SAY “I DO,” KNOW THESE THINGS ABOUT EACH OTHER

Marriage is about love, but love alone is not a health screening.
Before getting married, consider doing pre-marital medical screening together. It can help couples identify health conditions that may affect their future family and give them an opportunity to seek appropriate medical advice early.

🩺 Important screenings may include:
✅ HIV testing
✅ Hepatitis B & C screening
✅ Syphilis testing
✅ Blood group & Rhesus factor
✅ Genotype (e.g., AA, AS, SS)
✅ Basic fertility/reproductive health assessment when indicated
✅ Blood pressure and blood sugar checks
✅ Other tests based on medical history and professional advice.

❤️ Most importantly: Go for screening together, honestly and without judgment.

Hope your day went well.

YOU CAN HAVE AN STI AND NOT KNOW IT.

Many s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) can have few or no obvious symptoms, especially in the early stages.

That means someone may feel perfectly healthy while still having an infection.

Possible warning signs include:

✅Burning or pain when urinating

✅Genital sores, blisters, or bumps

✅ Itching or irritation

✅ Pelvic or lower abdominal pain

✅ Pain during s*x

✅Bleeding between periods or after s*x

Don’t ignore symptoms simply because they started early in the morning.

⚠️ Severe or worsening abdominal pain
⚠️ Persistent vomiting
⚠️ A swollen or hard abdomen
⚠️ Inability to pass stool or gas
⚠️ Difficulty breathing
⚠️ Fainting or unusual weakness
These symptoms can sometimes require urgent medical assessment.

Many people only think about s*xual health when something goes wrong. But prevention and early attention matter.

✅ Pain during s*x is not something you should simply endure.

✅ Unusual ge***al discharge, sores, itching or burning may need medical evaluation.

✅ Changes in s*xual desire can sometimes be related to stress, medications, hormones or other health factors.

✅Difficulty getting or maintaining an er****on can have several causes and may sometimes be associated with underlying health conditions.

✅ Regular STI testing can be important, especially when there has been a new or multiple s*xual partner.

Before you rush into the activities of the day, here are 4 habits you should embrace:

(1) Drink some water — start your day hydrated.

(2) Move your body — even a short morning walk can be beneficial.

(3)Choose a nourishing breakfast — give your body the fuel it needs.

(4) Prioritize good sleep — your body needs rest to recover.

If you notice that your urine is looking so deep yellow colour, visit a health care facility for proper clinical evaluation.

Don't conclude that you have malaria.
