How is the cost of the third generation of Hefei IVF different from that of the second generation?
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is an assisted reproductive technology that can help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. Hefei is the capital city of Anhui Province and one of the more developed cities in mainland China, with first-class medical resources. IVF has developed for many years in Hefei. With the continuous development of science and technology, IVF technology has also made continuous progress, from the second generation of IVF to the third generation of IVF. This article will introduce in detail the differences between the third generation of Hefei IVF and the second generation of IVF.
1. Progress in IVF technology
The second generation of IVF refers to the realization of pregnancy and delivery by transferring the fertilized eggs into the female uterus after in vitro fertilization of eggs and sperm. The third generation of IVF is based on the second generation of IVF, and further uses new assisted reproductive technologies, such as embryonic chromosome screening and gene testing. The application of these new technologies has led to a higher success rate of IVF and increased the corresponding costs.
In some hospitals in Hefei, the cost of second-generation IVF is usually about 100000 yuan. The third generation of IVF will increase the cost due to new technologies and testing projects. Depending on the hospital, the cost of three generations of IVF may be between 150000 yuan and 200000 yuan. Therefore, from the perspective of cost, the third generation of IVF will be more expensive than the second generation of IVF.
2. Improvement of IVF success rate
With the continuous development of IVF technology, the success rate of second-generation IVF has been relatively high. However, due to the problem of embryo chromosome abnormalities, some second-generation IVF babies may suffer from early abortion. The third generation IVF has greatly reduced the risk of early abortion and improved the success rate of IVF by screening embryos with chromosome abnormalities.
However, to realize the application of this technology, it is necessary to carry out gene detection on embryos after in vitro fertilization. The cost of this genetic test will also be included in the total cost of the third generation of IVF, further increasing the economic burden of treatment.
3. Risk control of IVF
As a medical technology, IVF has helped many couples realize their dreams of childbirth, but it also has certain risks. In the process of second generation IVF embryo transfer, there is still a certain risk of embryo chromosome abnormalities, which may lead to pregnancy failure or abnormal embryonic development.
In the third generation of IVF, chromosome screening and gene testing of embryos can better control the risk of IVF and reduce the possibility of abnormal pregnancy. This provides more choices and hopes for IVF patients, but also increases the total cost of treatment.
4. Changes in social cognition and legal provisions
With the continuous development of IVF technology, Hefei's social cognition and legal provisions on IVF are gradually improving. In the past, there was some controversy about IVF in society, but now people's understanding of IVF is getting deeper and deeper, and more couples begin to accept and choose IVF technology. Relevant laws and regulations also provide guarantee for the application of IVF technology.
In conclusion, the cost of IVF in Hefei has increased in the third generation compared with the second generation. This is because the application and cost of the third-generation IVF technology have improved the success rate and risk control. With the gradual deepening of society's understanding of IVF, the development prospect of IVF technology in Hefei will be even broader.
