What Medical Checks Are Required Before Surrogacy?

Medical evaluation is an important part of the surrogacy process because it helps doctors assess the health and suitability of everyone involved. The exact tests may vary depending on individual circumstances and applicable medical requirements.

For the intended parents, doctors may review medical history and conduct relevant fertility, infectious disease, and general health assessments. The surrogate may undergo a detailed health evaluation, which can include a physical examination, blood tests, screening for infections, and assessment of reproductive health. Her previous pregnancy and delivery history may also be reviewed.

Psychological counselling or evaluation may also be recommended to help address the emotional aspects of the surrogacy journey. Additional investigations may be advised based on medical findings.
