IVF expenses
Test tube baby is an important technology of modern medicine, which brings hope to those couples who are difficult to conceive naturally. However, the cost of IVF has become the focus of many people's attention. In China, IVF costs in top three hospitals are relatively high, but there are still some differences among hospitals. The following will elaborate on hospital selection, auxiliary examination, egg retrieval, transplantation and other aspects.
Hospital selection
The cost of IVF is closely related to the selected hospital. In China, the top three first-class hospitals often provide more professional teams and equipment, but the cost is relatively high. Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, the basic cost of IVF is about 150000 yuan, and additional costs such as auxiliary examinations need to be added depending on the specific circumstances. In some places, the third class hospitals may offer relatively low prices, but the equipment and technology may not be so advanced.
In addition, private hospitals can also be selected for IVF. Although the cost of private hospitals is relatively high, the success rate is relatively high due to the rich experience of doctors. Some reputable private hospitals have provided treatment programs tailored to individual needs, so their costs may be more flexible.
In addition, some scientific research institutions can also be selected for IVF. These institutions often initiate some clinical trials, which are relatively inexpensive, but may need to bear some risks.
Supplementary Examination
The process of IVF requires a series of auxiliary examinations to ensure the smooth progress of treatment. It includes basic gynecological examination, male semen analysis, blood examination, etc. The cost of auxiliary examination varies from several hundred yuan to one thousand yuan depending on the hospital.
In addition, there are some additional inspection items, such as embryonic chromosome screening, gene testing, etc. The cost of these projects is relatively high, which may increase the cost by thousands to tens of thousands.
Egg retrieval
One of the key links of IVF is the process of taking eggs, which is the process of women producing eggs. In the process of egg retrieval, ovulation promoting drugs need to be injected, multiple ultrasonic examinations and blood examinations need to be carried out, and finally the eggs need to be taken out through operation. The whole process takes about two weeks to one month.
The cost of egg retrieval process includes drug cost, ultrasonic examination cost and egg retrieval operation cost. The whole cost is about 10000 to 20000 yuan.
transplant
Transplantation is the last step of IVF. After taking eggs, high-quality embryos are selected for transplantation after culture, inspection and screening. The choice of single embryo transfer or multiple embryo transfer can be made according to the specific situation.
The cost of transplantation includes the cost of transplantation operation, embryo culture and related auxiliary drugs. Generally speaking, the cost of transplantation is between 10000 and 20000 yuan.
Summary
The cost of IVF varies depending on the hospital and treatment options. Generally speaking, the cost of the top three first-class hospitals is relatively high, but the equipment and technology are relatively advanced; Private hospitals have relatively high costs, but the treatment scheme is more personalized; The cost of scientific research institutions is relatively low, but they may need to bear certain risks. Auxiliary examination, egg retrieval and transplantation are important links in the process of IVF, and the cost of each link will also affect the total cost. Therefore, before IVF treatment, it is best to select appropriate hospitals and programs according to their own economic conditions and needs.
