Cost composition of Shanghai IVF
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps infertile couples realize their reproductive dreams through in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. In Shanghai, there are many famous IVF hospitals providing professional treatment services. The cost of IVF is an important factor that affects whether infertile couples choose this technology. The following will elaborate on the cost composition of Shanghai IVF from different aspects.
medical expense
The medical cost of IVF is the main part of the whole cost. First, a series of examinations need to be carried out, including blood examination, fertility assessment, semen analysis, etc. These examinations will incur certain costs. Then, women need to be monitored by ultrasound and ovum retrieval surgery, and men need to provide semen samples. Then, in vitro fertilization, embryo culture, embryo transfer and other steps need professional medical equipment and technical support. In addition, follow-up pregnancy monitoring is also required, including blood examination, ultrasonic examination, etc. These medical expenses together will become an important part of IVF.
Taking the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital affiliated to Fudan University as an example, according to different treatment schemes and individual conditions, the medical expenses are roughly between 20000 yuan and 150000 yuan. The expenses here mainly include examination, treatment, surgery and other items.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF treatment, a series of drugs are needed. The cost of drugs is an important part of the cost of IVF. Among them, ovulation regulation drugs are used to control the follicular development during female oocyte retrieval and improve the success rate of pregnancy. Hormone drugs are used to adjust female endometrium and increase the probability of embryo implantation. In addition, auxiliary drugs such as oviduct patenting agents and anticoagulants are also needed. The cost of these drugs accounts for a certain proportion of the total cost of IVF.
Taking Shanghai Ren'ai Hospital as an example, the drug cost during the treatment of IVF is roughly between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan. The hospital provides specific drug list and individualized drug use plan according to the actual situation.
Ancillary expenses
There will also be some ancillary costs during IVF treatment. For example, male semen needs to be frozen for later use, which will also increase the cost. In addition, multiple IVF cycles may be required during the treatment process, and a certain interval between each cycle may be required, during which regular reexamination may be required. These ancillary costs will vary according to individual circumstances.
Taking Xinhua Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine as an example, the auxiliary costs mainly include the costs of male semen freezing and reexamination. The cost of male semen freezing is about 2000 to 3000 yuan, and the cost of reexamination is about 500 to 1000 yuan.
Summary
In general, the cost composition of Shanghai IVF mainly includes medical expenses, drug expenses and auxiliary expenses. Medical expenses are the main part of the whole cost, including examination, treatment, surgery and other items. Drug costs are an important part of IVF, including ovulation regulating drugs, hormone drugs, etc. The auxiliary costs mainly involve the costs of male semen freezing and reexamination. The cost of IVF will vary according to different hospitals and individuals. Therefore, before choosing IVF, infertile couples need to have a comprehensive understanding of the cost composition and communicate with doctors in detail. In this way, we can make better decisions and realize our dream of procreation.
