Detailed analysis of the cost of IVF in Japan
IVF is a high-tech medical technology, which provides a possibility for couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological reasons. In Japan, IVF technology has been widely used, but the cost is also an important issue for couples. This article will analyze the cost of IVF in Japan in detail from several aspects.
Diagnosis cost
The IVF process usually starts with a couple's diagnosis. This diagnostic process includes a variety of examinations and tests to assess the couple's physical condition and fertility problems. In Japan, diagnostic fees generally include gynecological examination, male semen examination, endocrine examination and other necessary laboratory tests. According to different hospitals, the cost of diagnosis is generally between 30000 and 50000 yen.
However, if couples need further special examination or auxiliary diagnosis during the diagnosis process, the cost will rise. For example, gene testing and chromosome screening are common special tests. The cost of these additional inspections is about 20000 to 30000 yen.
It is worth mentioning that some hospitals will provide free initial diagnosis services. Couples can go to the hospital for consultation and get preliminary suggestions, but in fact, they still need to pay for diagnosis.
Treatment expenses
For those couples who need IVF treatment, treatment costs are inevitable. The main costs of IVF treatment include superovulation, egg collection, sperm preparation, fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer.
In Japan, superovulation therapy for women is an important step. The drug cost required for this step is generally between 100000 and 150000 yen. Egg collection surgery includes anesthesia costs and surgery costs, which are about 200000 to 300000 yen.
The cost of sperm preparation and fertilization process is calculated according to the specific operation, generally about 100000 - 150000 yen. The cost of embryo culture and embryo transfer is generally between 50000 and 100000 yen. The total cost of the whole treatment process is between 600000 and 900000 yen, and the specific cost will vary according to different hospitals.
Auxiliary treatment expenses
During IVF treatment, some couples may need some additional assistive technologies to increase the success rate of pregnancy. These technologies include embryo freezing, embryo implantation support, embryo micromanipulation, etc.
The cost of embryo freezing is generally between 50000 and 100000 yen. The cost of embryo implantation support and embryo micromanipulation is determined according to the specific operation project, generally between 10000 and 30000 yen. The cost of these adjuvant treatments will vary according to the specific needs of the couple.
Follow up costs and additional security
Once the couple successfully gave birth to IVF, they also need to bear some follow-up costs. For example, the costs of embryo freezing, embryo implantation support and prenatal examination of pregnant women need to be borne by the couple.
In addition, some hospitals also provide some additional security plans for IVF couples to ensure that they can get a certain refund or re treatment in case of treatment failure. These insurance plans usually require additional expenses, and the specific amount will vary from hospital to hospital.
In general, IVF is expensive in Japan. For different treatment processes, the cost may fluctuate between 30000 and 100000 yen. When choosing hospitals and treatment plans, couples need to fully understand the cost composition and make reasonable choices according to their own economic conditions.
Conclusion: The cost of IVF in Japan mainly includes diagnosis cost, treatment cost, auxiliary treatment cost, follow-up cost and additional security. From these aspects, the cost of IVF is relatively high. Before IVF treatment, couples should understand these costs and make comprehensive consideration and decisions according to their own actual conditions.
