Does IVF in Shanghai cost a lot?
Test tube baby is a modern medical technology, which is used to help those couples who are difficult to conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. In China, Shanghai, as one of the most developed cities in China, has many professional IVF hospitals. However, many people have doubts about the cost of IVF in Shanghai. This article will elaborate on the cost of IVF in Shanghai from many aspects.
Hospital expenses
Choosing a hospital is the first step to implement IVF. There are many IVF hospitals in Shanghai, including Huashan Hospital and Ruijin Hospital. The charging standard of different hospitals will be different. Generally speaking, the cost of the hospital includes the initial diagnosis fee, testing fee, operation fee, etc. The initial diagnosis cost is generally between several hundred yuan and one thousand yuan. The testing cost will depend on the patient's condition. The surgery cost is the largest expenditure, generally more than 50000 yuan.
In addition to the above costs, it may also include some auxiliary treatment costs, such as the cost of frozen embryos, hormone treatment costs, etc. These costs will also vary according to the hospital's policies and actual conditions. In addition, in the whole IVF process, if complications occur or additional treatment is required, additional costs will be incurred.
It should be noted that the cost of some private hospitals in Shanghai may be high, but the price of professional public hospitals is usually relatively reasonable. It is very important to choose a hospital according to your actual situation and economic situation.
Drug expenses
IVF needs to use a series of drugs to promote ovarian ovulation and improve the success rate. The cost of these drugs is also a large part of the total cost of IVF.
Drug costs include ovulation promoting drug costs, hormone treatment costs, etc. For different individual patients, the drugs and doses used will also be different, leading to differences in costs. Generally speaking, the average drug cost may be more than 10000 yuan.
Auxiliary treatment expenses
In the process of IVF, some auxiliary treatments may be needed, such as embryo cryopreservation, embryo transfer, embryo breeding, etc. These ancillary treatment costs also incur additional costs.
For example, frozen embryos need to pay for refrigeration equipment, and embryos may need to be transferred with microscope and other equipment, which will account for a certain proportion of the total cost. At the same time, there are also embryo breeding technologies, such as egg cell gene screening, which also require additional investment.
other expenses
In addition to hospital costs, drug costs and auxiliary treatment costs, there may be some other indirect costs in the IVF process.
For example, patients may need to pay accommodation fees, transportation fees, etc. when they visit Shanghai. At the same time, the IVF process may require multiple examinations and treatments, leading many people to ask for leave, which will also cause some economic losses.
In general, Shanghai IVF needs to spend relatively more money. However, the cost will vary according to different hospitals, individual conditions and treatment plans. In addition, IVF is also a long-term investment, not only an economic expenditure, but also a realization of aspirations and hopes. Therefore, when choosing IVF, patients should consider their own economic status and psychological preparation comprehensively, and choose appropriate hospitals and programs to obtain the best treatment effect.
