Factors influencing the cost of IVF
IVF is an assisted reproductive technology that helps couples who cannot conceive naturally due to fertility barriers to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, the cost of IVF is one of the factors that many couples flinch from. The cost of IVF is affected by many factors. The average cost of IVF in 2020 will be described in detail from different aspects.
Choice of hospitals
The cost of IVF service provided by different hospitals is different. Generally speaking, the IVF service fees of some well-known top three hospitals in China are relatively high, because these hospitals have advanced equipment and technology, and have experienced expert teams. Taking a well-known hospital in Beijing as an example, the cost of IVF in this hospital will be about 300000 to 400000 yuan in 2020.
However, not all families can afford such high costs. Therefore, some general hospitals also provide IVF services, with relatively low costs, about 100000 to 200000 yuan. When choosing a hospital, families need to consider the equipment, professional level and service quality of the hospital to ensure safety and success rate.
Selection of auxiliary technology
In the process of IVF, there are many auxiliary technologies to choose from, such as embryo culture technology, embryo screening technology, etc. The application of these technologies will increase the cost of IVF. Taking the embryo culture technology as an example, the traditional IVF process is to culture the embryo in a petri dish for 2-3 days, and then select high-quality embryos for implantation. Now, the new embryo culture technology provided by some hospitals can allow embryos to be cultivated in petri dishes for 5-6 days, so as to screen out more high-quality embryos. However, the use of this technology will increase the cost of IVF.
In addition, some families can also choose gender screening technology, which will also increase the cost of IVF. This technology can help families achieve gender selective fertility wishes, but the cost is high because it requires genetic screening and embryo transfer and other steps.
Drugs and other expenses
In the process of IVF, certain drugs are also needed to promote the preparation of ovarian ovulation and endometrium. The cost of these drugs is also part of the cost of IVF. Generally speaking, the drug cost will not be too high, about thousands to 10000 yuan.
In addition, IVF also needs some examinations and surgical operations, such as semen examination, ovarian puncture, etc., which will increase the cost of IVF. Some hospitals also include preoperative and postoperative care costs and examination costs, which also need families to understand in advance.
Supplementary expenses and summary
In addition to the costs mentioned above, there may be some additional supplementary costs during IVF. For example, if there are some special diseases or symptoms that require additional examination and treatment, these costs will increase accordingly. In addition, if the IVF cycle fails and needs to be operated again, corresponding costs will also be incurred.
In general, the average cost of IVF in 2020 will be about 100000 to 400000 yuan, and the specific cost will be determined according to hospital selection, auxiliary technology selection, drug costs and other costs. In the process of selecting IVF, families need to consider their own economic situation and medical needs comprehensively, and consult the hospital in advance to understand the details of related costs, so as to make appropriate decisions.
