Is the cost of IVF in Shanghai related to age
Test tube baby is a high-tech fertility assistant technology, which is widely used in infertile couples. As one of the largest cities in China and even Asia, Shanghai has many professional reproductive hospitals, attracting many patients from all over the country and even the world. However, the cost of IVF is closely related to age. This article will elaborate on the cost difference of different age groups, the impact of age on the success rate, additional fees and cost concessions.
Cost difference of different age groups
The cost of IVF usually includes the cost of assisted reproductive technology, drug costs and medical examination costs. There are also some differences in the cost according to the child-bearing people of different ages. Generally speaking, young couples have an advantage over older couples in terms of IVF costs. The ovarian function of young couples is better, usually without a large number of ovulation promoting drugs, thus reducing drug costs. At the same time, young couples have good physique and relatively low surgical risk, which reduces the risk of surgical complications, thus reducing the cost of medical examination. Therefore, the cost of IVF for young couples is relatively low.
On the contrary, the ovarian function of older couples gradually declines, and higher doses of ovulation promoting drugs may be required to improve the quality and quantity of eggs. This will lead to increased drug costs. At the same time, because the physical condition of the elderly couple may have some problems, more medical examinations are needed to ensure the safety of the operation, which increases the medical examination costs. Therefore, older couples have relatively higher costs for IVF.
In addition, the cost of different professional hospitals will vary. There are many famous IVF hospitals in Shanghai, such as Shanghai Ren'ai Hospital, East China Hospital, etc. These hospitals are different in terms of equipment, medical level and service quality, so the cost will also be different.
Influence of age on success rate
The success rate of IVF is closely related to female age. According to relevant studies, when women are under 35 years old, the success rate of IVF is relatively high, and gradually decreases with age.
Young couples have better fertility potential, and the quality and quantity of eggs are relatively good, thus improving the success rate of IVF. However, the ovarian function of the elderly couples decreased, and the number and quality of eggs decreased, which increased the risk of success rate.
Therefore, for young couples, although the cost of IVF is relatively low, the chance of success is relatively high. In the long run, it may require less cost and time to realize the desire to have children. For older couples, although the cost of IVF is high, the success rate is low, and it may take more time and cost to realize the fertility desire.
Additional charges
In the process of IVF, there are some additional costs. For example, frozen embryo costs, embryo transfer costs, embryo quality assessment costs, etc. These surcharges vary according to different hospitals and individual needs.
The cost of frozen embryos refers to the cost of freezing unused embryos for use in future cycles. The cost of embryo transfer refers to the implantation of embryos into the uterus to promote pregnancy. The cost of embryo quality assessment refers to the assessment of embryos to select high-quality embryos for transplantation.
These additional costs will vary due to different hospital policies and individual needs, and need to be evaluated and selected according to the actual situation.
Fee preference
In order to attract more patients, some professional IVF hospitals have provided some preferential policies. For example, Shanghai Ren'ai Hospital is a famous reproductive hospital, which provides preferential programs for IVF. They gave different degrees of fee reduction and preference according to different stages of IVF.
In addition, some social welfare institutions and medical insurance also provide a certain degree of IVF subsidy. Relevant departments have issued a series of policies to encourage couples to have children, provide financial support for infertile couples, and reduce the cost burden of some IVF babies.
To sum up, the cost of IVF in Shanghai is closely related to age. Young couples have relatively low costs and relatively high success rates; However, older couples have relatively high costs and low success rates. In addition, additional fees and preferential policies will also affect the cost of IVF. Therefore, it is very important for couples of different ages to choose their own IVF strategies.
