Comprehensive expenses of IVF
Test tube baby technology is an assisted reproductive technology, which combines sperm and eggs in the laboratory to cultivate embryos, and then implant the embryos into the mother's uterus for pregnancy. This technology has played an important role in solving the problem of infertility. However, IVF is not an inexpensive process. Next, we will discuss the comprehensive costs of IVF from four aspects: medical examination, medical treatment, drug costs and surgery costs.
Medical examination
In the process of IVF, a series of medical examinations should be carried out first to assess the reproductive health of couples. These examinations include tubal patency examination, endometrial thickness examination, endocrine examination, etc. Each inspection requires a certain fee. Taking a famous hospital as an example, the inspection of oviduct patency costs about 3000 yuan, the inspection of endometrial thickness costs about 2000 yuan, and the endocrine inspection costs about 1000 yuan. Therefore, the cost of medical examination plays an important role in the total cost.
Medical treatment
In the process of IVF, some gynecological diseases need treatment to improve the success rate of pregnancy. For example, uterine cavity adhesion, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts and other diseases need to be resolved through surgery or drug treatment. The treatment cost will vary according to the specific condition and the pricing of the hospital. Take a first-class hospital in a city as an example. Hysteroscopic surgery costs about 8000 yuan, and myomectomy costs about 10000 yuan. In addition, it is necessary to purchase some drugs for auxiliary treatment. The cost will vary according to the type and dosage of drugs.
Drug expenses
The drugs used in IVF mainly include ovulation promoting drugs and pregnancy assisting drugs. Ovulation promoting drugs will increase the number and quality of follicles, and pregnancy assisting drugs will help embryo implantation and pregnancy success. The prices of these drugs vary depending on the type and amount of drugs used. Taking a famous hospital as an example, the cost of ovulation promoting drugs is about 6000 yuan, and the cost of pregnancy assisting drugs is about 5000 yuan. Of course, the specific cost is also affected by personal circumstances and doctor's advice.
Operation expenses
The final stage of IVF is to implant the cultured embryo into the mother's uterus, which requires surgical operation. The cost of surgery varies according to the pricing of hospitals and the complexity of surgery. Take a Grade III A hospital in a city as an example, the cost of IVF surgery is about 20000 yuan. The operation cost is a big expense in the whole IVF process.
To sum up, the costs of IVF include medical examination, medical treatment, drug costs and surgery costs. Every aspect needs a certain amount of economic expenditure. The specific cost varies according to different regions and hospitals. In recent years, with the progress of technology and the intensification of competition, the cost of IVF gradually tends to be reasonable. However, when preparing for IVF, couples still need to be fully prepared and understand the costs so as to make a wise decision.
summary
The comprehensive cost of IVF can be considered from four aspects: medical examination, medical treatment, drug cost and operation cost. Medical examination is the premise to understand the health status of childbirth, while medical treatment and operation costs are the costs to solve related diseases and operations. Drug costs are mainly used to assist the pregnancy process, help embryo implantation and pregnancy success. The cost of IVF varies from region to region and hospital to hospital. Therefore, when couples decide to carry out IVF, they should understand and plan their economic preparation in advance so as to have a wise choice.
