Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am planning to marry a boy who is known to me. But we have the same blood group, B positive. Can we have a problem with having children? Or any other health problems? Please clarify my doubt.
If a problem is present, give me a solution to avoid it.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
People of the same blood group can marry and produce a healthy child. Do not get worried as far as the blood group is concerned. If you are both relatives, then genetic counseling before conception is advisable.
You can rule out hemoglobinopathy by HB (hemoglobin) electrophoresis and by HPLC method (high-performance liquid chromatography) especially thalassemia minor has to be ruled out.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
