How much is a test tube baby?
IVF is a method to help couples who cannot conceive naturally to achieve fertility through artificial assisted pregnancy technology. In recent years, with the progress of technology and the development of society, more and more couples choose IVF to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, many people have doubts about the cost of IVF. So, how much is a test tube baby? The cost of IVF is described in detail in the following aspects.
Hospital selection
The cost of IVF surgery is affected by many factors, such as the geographical location of the hospital, the level of doctors and the advanced level of equipment. In China, some first-class hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, have advanced equipment and high technology, but their costs are relatively high. The cost of some local hospitals or rural medical institutions is relatively low. Therefore, the choice of hospital is also an important factor affecting the cost of IVF.
Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, the cost of IVF is about 250000 to 300000 yuan. If some local hospitals are selected, the cost of IVF may be between 150000 and 200000 yuan. This is just a rough range of expenses, and the specific expenses should be determined according to the specific conditions of the hospital.
Medical examination and drug expenses
IVF surgery requires a series of medical examinations to ensure that the patient's physical condition is suitable for surgery. These examinations include blood routine examination, gynecological examination, endocrine examination, etc. The expenses mainly include examination fees and drug expenses. The examination fee varies from region to region and from hospital to hospital, about 5000-10000 yuan. The cost of drugs also varies according to personal conditions, and the specific cost can be inquired from the doctor.
Operation cost and follow-up cost
The cost of IVF surgery mainly includes the cost of egg retrieval, insemination and embryo transfer. These costs vary according to hospitals and geographical locations, ranging from 150000 to 250000 yuan.
In addition, a period of follow-up is needed after the operation to ensure the effect of embryo transfer. During the follow-up period, some adjuvant treatment may be required, and the cost will also increase. The cost of follow-up is related to the hospital and personal conditions, which is about 5000-10000 yuan.
Summary
The cost of a test tube baby varies according to different hospitals, socio-economic status and personal circumstances. Generally speaking, the costs include medical examination and drug costs, surgery costs and follow-up costs. The choice of hospital is one of the important factors that affect the cost of IVF. It should be noted that although the cost of IVF is relatively high, it is a worthwhile investment for couples eager to have children.
