Cost of IVF pregnancy
IVF refers to in vitro fertilization technology, which combines eggs and sperm in the laboratory, cultivates them into embryos, and then implants them into women's uterus to achieve pregnancy and delivery. The issue of IVF marriage and childbirth has attracted much attention, but many people do not know much about the cost of IVF. This article will elaborate on the cost of IVF from several aspects.
medical expense
The medical expenses of IVF are the main part of pregnancy costs. First of all, a series of examinations and auxiliary diagnosis, such as endocrine examination, salpingography, endometrial biopsy, etc., are needed to ensure that women's internal conditions are suitable for pregnancy. The cost of these examinations varies from hospital to hospital and from region to region, ranging from 5000 to 20000 yuan.
Then comes the cost of IVF diagnosis and treatment, including ultrasound, ovarian stimulation drugs, in vitro fertilization technology, etc. IVF technology is the core process of IVF, and its cost is also high. Generally speaking, the cost of IVF technology is 20000 to 30000 yuan, which does not include drug costs. In some private hospitals, the cost of IVF can even exceed 100000 yuan.
It should be noted that IVF is not a one-time success, and it often requires several operations, so it may cost more. In addition, the success rate of IVF is also one of the important factors that affect medical expenses. A lower success rate may require more attempts, thus increasing costs.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, women need ovarian stimulation to promote ovarian ovulation and increase the success rate. Ovarian stimulation is an important part of IVF, and its cost cannot be ignored. The cost of ovarian stimulation drugs varies according to the type, brand and dosage, and is roughly between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan.
In addition to ovarian stimulation drugs, women also need to use other auxiliary drugs, such as progesterone, oxytocin, etc., to maintain the implantation of fertilized eggs and embryonic development. The cost of these drugs is relatively low, about thousands of yuan.
Operation expenses
In the process of IVF diagnosis and treatment, multiple operations may be required, such as ovarian puncture, embryo transfer, etc. The cost of these operations ranges from several thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan each time, including the cost of surgical instruments and operating room. The operation cost varies with the hospital and the complexity of the operation.
Follow up expenses
The success of IVF pregnancy does not mean the end of the cost, but also needs to consider the subsequent costs of pregnancy and delivery. During pregnancy, multiple prenatal examinations and nutritional supplements for pregnant women are required to ensure the healthy development of embryos. The cost of a normal pregnancy is between thousands and tens of thousands of yuan, depending on the medical insurance policy and the individual's location.
After the success of IVF, women need to have caesarean section or natural delivery, which also requires costs. The cost of caesarean section is relatively high, generally more than 10000 yuan, and the cost of natural delivery is low, about thousands to 10000 yuan.
Summary
The cost of IVF pregnancy mainly includes medical expenses, drug expenses, surgery expenses and follow-up expenses. Medical expenses are the most important part, including expenses for a series of examinations and IVF diagnosis and treatment. The drug cost is high, and the use of ovarian stimulation drugs cannot be ignored. Multiple operations also increase costs. Costs during pregnancy and after childbirth also need to be considered. In general, the cost of IVF is high, and families need to make full financial preparations.
