What factors affect the cost of the third generation IVF?
The third generation of test tube baby is a kind of modern breeding technology, which helps couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their fertility aspirations. However, the cost of this technology is a concern of many people. The cost depends on many factors, and the impact of the third generation IVF cost will be described in detail from several aspects.
Influence of hospital selection
One of the important factors affecting the cost is the choice of hospitals for third-generation IVF surgery. The equipment level and technical strength of different hospitals vary greatly, which will directly affect the price. Some top medical institutions usually charge higher fees because they have the most advanced equipment and experienced expert teams. Some secondary hospitals or local medical institutions have relatively low costs.
For example, Peking Union Medical College Hospital is one of the famous medical institutions in China. Its representative infertility department has a high level of technology, but the corresponding cost is also expensive. Some local hospitals may have relatively weak technical level or equipment conditions, but the cost is relatively low. Therefore, when choosing a hospital, patients need to make a trade-off according to their own conditions and economic capacity.
Also abroad, the medical school of the University of Pennsylvania in the United States enjoys a high reputation worldwide for its hospital equipment and technical level, but the corresponding costs will also be high.
Impact of required assistive technologies
The third generation IVF surgery usually needs auxiliary technology to improve the success rate. These auxiliary technologies include embryo selection, preimplantation genetic diagnosis, frozen embryo storage, etc. Each technique will increase the cost of surgery.
For example, embryo selection technology can screen out normal embryos for implantation and improve the success rate of pregnancy. But the cost of this technology is relatively expensive, which will increase the cost of the entire operation. If patients need to use a variety of assistive technologies, the cost will further increase.
Impact of patient's personal situation
The patient's personal condition is also one of the factors that affect the cost of the third generation IVF. The patient's age, physical condition, disease history, etc. will have an impact on the cost.
Age is one of the important factors that affect expenses. The older the female, the lower the quality and quantity of eggs, which means that more auxiliary technologies and operations are needed to achieve the purpose of pregnancy, thus increasing costs.
In addition, the patient's physical condition and disease history will also affect the cost of surgery. If the patient has some chronic diseases or other conditions that are not suitable for surgery, additional examination and treatment may be required, which will increase the cost.
Ways to save money
Although the cost of the third generation IVF is high, there are some ways to help patients save money.
First, choose the appropriate hospital. By comparing the price, technical strength, success rate and other indicators of many hospitals, we can find the most suitable hospital to avoid unnecessary expenses.
Secondly, the timing of surgery should be reasonably planned. Choose the right time for surgery, not only according to personal wishes, but also in combination with the doctor's suggestions, so as to avoid unnecessary failure and repeated surgery.
Finally, optimize personal physical condition. Through healthy diet, proper exercise and psychological counseling, improve the physical condition, improve the success rate of surgery, and reduce unnecessary costs and time waste.
To sum up, the cost of the third generation IVF is affected by many factors, such as the choice of hospital, the auxiliary technology needed, and the patient's personal condition. On the basis of selecting the appropriate hospital and planning the operation opportunity reasonably, patients can reduce the cost to a certain extent by optimizing their physical conditions. For those patients with more difficult economic conditions, the state and society should also provide more medical support and preferential policies to help them achieve their reproductive aspirations.
