What is the cost of IVF II related to?
Test tube baby technology, as a kind of assisted reproductive technology, is very popular among infertile couples. However, many people are concerned about the cost of IVF II. The second generation cost of IVF is closely related to the following aspects.
1. Medical technology level
IVF technology needs a highly professional medical team to operate, and the level of medical technology will directly affect the cost. The first-class hospitals usually have more advanced IVF technology and equipment, but their costs will be correspondingly higher. For example, the cost of the internationally renowned XX IVF Center is significantly higher than that of ordinary hospitals.
In addition, different treatment schemes will lead to different costs. For example, choosing to use PGS/PGD (embryo chromosome screening and single gene screening) technology for embryo screening to improve the success rate will increase the cost of the second generation of IVF.
And the update of IVF II technology will also make the cost fluctuate. New technologies often require higher costs. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of technology, the cost of IVF II is expected to gradually decline.
2. Drug expenses
IVF technology requires a series of drugs for adjuvant treatment, such as ovulation promoting drugs, embryo transfer adjuvant drugs, etc. The cost of drugs will vary according to the type of drug and the dosage used.
In addition, since IVF technology requires more drug support than natural pregnancy, drug costs usually account for a large proportion in the whole treatment process. The price of drugs purchased from formal channels is on the high side, while there are some cheap informal channels on the market, but the quality is not guaranteed, and there are also certain risks.
Therefore, when selecting drugs, it is not only necessary to consider the cost, but also to fully understand the source of drugs to ensure the safety and effectiveness of treatment.
3. Treatment cycle
IVF II is not a one-time success, and it usually requires multiple treatment cycles to achieve success. Each treatment cycle requires multiple examinations and operations, and the cost of each cycle is cumulative.
The number and cost of treatment cycles will be affected by many factors, such as the woman's age, physical condition, and the man's sperm quality. Younger healthy couples usually have a higher probability of success, so they need less treatment and the related costs are relatively low.
4. Additional services
In addition to the basic IVF technology costs, there are some additional services that may increase the total cost. For example, frozen embryos, screening of embryo carriers, monitoring and management of multiple pregnancies, etc. These services may be optional, but will have a positive impact on the success rate and safety of IVF II.
Choosing appropriate additional services according to specific needs can improve the success rate, but also increase the total cost. Therefore, when making treatment plans, couples need to fully understand the cost and value of each service and make rational decisions.
Summary
The second generation cost of IVF is closely related to medical technology level, drug cost, treatment cycle and additional services. Selection of advanced technology provided by first-class hospitals, rational selection of drugs, reduction of treatment cycle, and selection of appropriate additional services according to needs are all key factors to reduce the cost of IVF II. In the future, with the progress of technology and the popularization of application, the cost of IVF II is expected to gradually reduce, so that more infertile couples can enjoy the joy of childbirth.
