What are the costs of the third generation IVF?
In Vitro Fertilization, IVF) refers to the reproductive technology of impregnating and culturing the eggs and sperm of both husband and wife in the laboratory, and then implanting the embryo into the mother's uterus. However, with the development of science and technology, IVF has entered the third generation, integrating gene detection and embryo screening technologies, thus improving the probability of healthy birth of infants. However, there is a certain cost to carry out three generations of IVF. The following details the cost of the third generation of IVF.
First aspect: medical examination and operation expenses
Before the third generation of IVF, both husband and wife need to undergo a series of medical examinations, including genital examination, endocrine examination, genetic disease screening, etc., through which to evaluate whether the patient is suitable for IVF. The cost of these medical examinations varies from hospital to city, and generally costs thousands to tens of thousands of yuan.
Later, the patient needs to undergo egg retrieval and sperm collection. These operations need professional doctors to operate, and the operating room and necessary surgical equipment need to be prepared, so the operation costs are high. Generally speaking, the operating expenses include operating room use fees, anesthesia fees, surgical nursing fees, etc., which are about 20000 to 30000 yuan.
In addition, it is also necessary to consider the cost of assisted reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, etc. The cost varies according to the specific operation difficulty and doctor experience. These medical examination and operation expenses are the basic expenses of the third generation IVF.
The second aspect: the cost of assisted reproductive technology
Assisted reproductive technology, including the basic operation of IVF, is also an important reason for the increase in costs. The cost of assisted reproductive technology includes reagents, culture media, incubator, microscope and other laboratory equipment and consumables required for IVF operation. At the same time, pay the salaries and training fees of professional and technical personnel to ensure the accuracy and success rate of operation. The cost of assisted reproductive technology is generally between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan.
In addition, three generations of IVF may also include advanced technologies such as gene detection and embryo screening. Due to the complexity of these technologies and expensive equipment costs, the cost is high. The cost of gene testing and embryo screening may be between 30000 yuan and 50000 yuan according to the pricing strategy of the hospital.
Third aspect: drug expenses
A series of ovulation promoting drugs and hormone drugs are needed to regulate the menstrual cycle of female patients and promote the production of eggs for the third generation of IVF. The cost of these drugs is an important part of the whole treatment process. The cost of ovulation promoting drugs and hormone drugs varies depending on the type and amount of drugs, generally between several thousand yuan and ten thousand yuan.
Fourth aspect: follow-up care costs and follow-up costs
After the third generation of IVF embryo transfer, patients need to carry out certain rehabilitation and nursing work to ensure the smooth implantation and development of the baby. This involves inpatient care costs, drug costs and follow-up costs. Pricing strategies in different hospitals and cities may vary. Generally speaking, the cost of rehabilitation and care after embryo transfer ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan.
To sum up, the costs of the third-generation IVF include medical examination and surgery costs, assisted reproductive technology costs, drug costs, follow-up care costs and follow-up costs. The specific amount of these costs varies depending on the hospital, city and technical complexity. Therefore, it is necessary to fully understand the cost of carrying out the third generation IVF and fully consider the economic ability before making a decision. At the same time, it is also hoped that relevant institutions and hospitals can gradually reduce costs, so that more families in need can enjoy the benefits of this technology.
Summary:
The costs of the third generation IVF include medical examination and surgery costs, assisted reproductive technology costs, drug costs, follow-up care costs and follow-up costs. Among them, the cost of medical examination and operation is the basic cost, the cost of assisted reproductive technology is high, and the drug cost, follow-up care cost and follow-up cost are also a part that cannot be ignored. Understanding the composition and amount of these expenses can help patients and families better plan and prepare for economic expenditures.
