The high cost of IVF

Since the birth of the first test tube baby in 1978, IVF technology has become one of the effective methods to solve the problem of infertility. However, the cost of IVF is often prohibitive. The high cost of IVF is described in detail from several aspects below.

Expensive medical equipment and technology

IVF needs to use various high-end medical equipment and advanced technology, which is also one of the main reasons for the high cost. First, IVF needs to be performed many times during IVF, which requires expensive IVF incubator, centrifuge and other equipment. Secondly, IVF requires multiple hormone treatments, which requires the use of high priced hormone drugs, and the high cost of drugs directly increases the total cost of IVF.

In addition, IVF needs a professional team with high technical level to operate. For example, Antai Hospital, located in Beijing, is the first hospital in China to introduce IVF technology. Doctors and nurses here have received professional training and have rich experience in IVF operation. The high-end medical services they provide are also one of the reasons for the high cost.

Complex operation steps and test items

The whole process of IVF includes multiple complex operation steps and strict testing items, which is also an important reason for the high cost. First of all, the IVF process requires multiple IVF operations, and the cost of each operation is high. Secondly, the process of IVF requires multiple embryo transfer and fetal implantation tests, and the cost of these tests is also quite expensive.

In addition, the success rate of IVF is also a reason for the high cost. Since the success rate of IVF is relatively low, more operations and tests are needed to improve the success rate, which further increases the cost.

Post monitoring and health guarantee

IVF not only includes hormone therapy, surgical operation and embryo transfer in the early stage, but also is important for monitoring and health protection in the later stage. The success rate of IVF is low. Once the pregnancy is successful, more strict and detailed pregnancy monitoring and protection are required, which is one of the reasons for the high cost.

At the same time, the late health care of IVF is also the main reason for the high cost. IVF babies may face many health problems after birth and need more medical examination and treatment. Therefore, in order to ensure the health and growth of IVF, more economic expenditure needs to be paid.

summary

To sum up, the reason why IVF costs so much is that it involves expensive medical equipment and technology, complex operating procedures and testing items, as well as later monitoring and health care. The high cost stops many people from bearing such economic burden. However, with the continuous development of related technologies and the reduction of medical costs, it is believed that the cost of IVF will gradually become reasonable, bringing good news to more couples suffering from infertility.
