How much is the cost of IVF?
Test tube baby technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used to solve the problem of infertility. However, with the development of IVF technology, many couples began to pay attention to the cost of IVF. The following details the related costs of IVF from four aspects: medical institution selection, medical costs, drug costs and auxiliary costs.
Selection of medical institutions
The cost of IVF will be affected by different medical institutions. Generally speaking, the cost of IVF in large public hospitals is lower because they can get government subsidies. In contrast, the cost of private hospitals will be higher because they need to cover more operating costs. In addition, the general cost of medical institutions in large cities is high because of the high labor costs and price levels. Therefore, the price and strength should be comprehensively considered when selecting medical institutions.
In China, some well-known IVF centers include Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, etc. These medical institutions have rich experience and professional medical teams in the field of IVF. In terms of price, the cost of IVF in public hospitals is generally about 100000 yuan, while that in private hospitals may exceed 200000 yuan.
medical expense
The medical expenses of IVF mainly involve a series of medical examinations, operations and treatment processes. First of all, couples need to have a comprehensive physical examination, including blood tests, endocrine tests, genetic disease screening, etc. These costs are roughly between 1000 yuan and 5000 yuan. Then, the woman needs to carry out the egg retrieval operation, which is expensive, generally around 10000 yuan. This is followed by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. These costs include IVF embryo culture costs, embryo monitoring costs and equipment use costs, which are about 10000 to 30000 yuan. In addition, if multiple cycles of treatment are required, the cost will increase accordingly.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, some drugs are needed to promote ovarian development and control ovulation. The cost of these drugs is also part of the total cost of IVF. The type and dosage of drugs used may vary according to individual circumstances. Generally speaking, the cost of drugs required for the use of assisted reproductive technology is between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan.
Ancillary expenses
In addition to medical costs and drug costs, there will be some ancillary costs in the IVF process. For example, hospitalization costs, post operation recovery costs, embryo frozen storage costs, etc. These costs vary according to different medical institutions and individual needs. Generally speaking, the cost of embryo frozen storage is about 3000 yuan per year.
In general, the cost of IVF is relatively high, mainly including medical institution selection, medical costs, drug costs and auxiliary costs. Couples need to clearly understand these costs when choosing IVF, and make reasonable decisions according to their own economic conditions. At the same time, it is also hoped that with the development of technology, the IVF technology can be gradually popularized, so that more infertile couples can achieve their fertility aspirations.
