Checkups
Do I need to fast before the blood tests? Gynecologist in Seoul, Korea
The short answer
Only for some tests. If your package includes blood sugar or cholesterol and triglycerides (for example the wedding WB/WC or early pregnancy PB checkups), fast for about 8 hours beforehand, drinking only water. Most other tests do not need fasting. Ask when you book.
Packages with lipid or glucose tests: Wedding WB and WC, Early pregnancy PA and PB. A morning appointment makes fasting easier.
