Correlation between efficacy and price of the third generation of IVF
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has been widely used in the world. With the continuous development of technology, the efficacy of IVF is also improving, but at the same time, it is accompanied by high prices. This article will discuss the third generation of IVF from two aspects of efficacy and price.
1. Improvement of curative effect
With the continuous progress of IVF technology, the third generation of IVF has significantly improved its efficacy compared with the first and second generations. First of all, the third generation of IVF has greatly increased the pregnancy rate and pregnancy success rate by selecting more high-quality embryos for transplantation. Secondly, PGS (Preimplantation Genetic Screening) technology has also been introduced into the third generation of IVF, which can screen embryos for genes and exclude embryos with chromosome abnormalities for transplantation, thus reducing the risk of embryo implantation failure and abortion. In addition, the third generation of IVF also used C-HCG (Controlling Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) technology, which can accurately monitor the embryonic development after pregnancy, timely adjust the hormone treatment program, and improve the success rate of late pregnancy.
However, to achieve this high effect of the third generation IVF, more resources need to be invested in equipment and doctors, which has led to a sharp rise in prices.
2. Price rise
The price of the third generation of IVF is significantly higher than that of the previous two generations. First, the cost of equipment renewal and maintenance is an important reason for the price increase. With the progress of technology, more advanced equipment is needed to support the operation of the third generation IVF, and the input cost and maintenance cost of the equipment also increase accordingly. Secondly, the specialized and personalized demand for IVF technology has also led to the rise in prices. The third generation IVF needs more professional doctors and teams to operate, which also increases the cost of medical institutions, and thus increases the cost burden of patients.
However, it is worth mentioning that although the price of the third generation IVF is relatively high, it is still a choice worth considering in terms of the desire to obtain healthy babies and the protection of rights and interests.
3. Hospital differences
The third generation technology of IVF is also different in different hospitals and institutions. First of all, hospitals have different equipment and technology levels, leading to differences in the efficacy and price of the third-generation IVF. Some top medical institutions invest more in technology and equipment, so they may be more effective, but the price is also higher. However, due to limited resources, ordinary hospitals may not be able to provide the same level of technology and equipment, and the efficacy and price are relatively low.
Secondly, the geographical location of the hospital will also affect the price. Generally speaking, the medical resources in big cities are more abundant, and the prices of hospitals are relatively high; However, there are relatively few medical resources in small cities or rural areas, and the price of hospitals is relatively low.
Therefore, when choosing a hospital, patients should take into account the technical level, equipment conditions, geographical location, as well as the comprehensive efficacy and price of the hospital.
4. Summary
There is a correlation between the efficacy and price of the third generation of IVF. With the continuous improvement of technology, the efficacy of the third generation of IVF has been significantly improved, but accompanied by high prices. The cost of equipment renewal and maintenance, specialization and personalized demand are the reasons for the price increase. There are also differences in efficacy and price between different hospitals and institutions. Patients should consider multiple factors to choose a suitable hospital. Although the price is high, the third generation technology of IVF is still a valuable choice in realizing patients' wishes for healthy babies and protecting their rights and interests.
