Is IVF expensive in Shenzhen?
Test tube baby is a method to help infertile couples achieve their reproductive aspirations through assisted reproductive technology. However, the cost of IVF has always been one of the topics of concern. As for Shenzhen, as a pioneer of assisted reproductive technology in China, it has many well-known IVF hospitals and experts. However, is the cost of Shenzhen IVF expensive? This issue will be elaborated from several aspects below.
Hospital selection
As an international metropolis, Shenzhen has many well-known IVF hospitals, such as BGI and PKU Shenzhen Hospital. The equipment and technology of these large hospitals are relatively advanced, but the price is relatively high. When receiving treatment, you can choose the hospital according to your own economic situation. If economic conditions permit, it may be safer and more reliable to choose a well-known hospital. But for some couples with limited economic conditions, it is also possible to choose some hospitals with relatively low prices.
In Shenzhen, different hospitals have different charging standards according to their strength and popularity. Generally speaking, the cost of IVF in Shenzhen is relatively high. According to the geographical location, equipment, technology and other factors of the hospital, the price may be between 30000 and 80000 yuan. Although the cost of IVF in Shenzhen is relatively high, compared with other international metropolises, such as Shanghai and Beijing, the cost is relatively low.
Different treatment schemes
The cost of IVF is determined according to different treatment schemes. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, the success rate of IVF is generally about 30% - 40%, so many couples need to try many times. Different treatment schemes correspond to different costs. Generally speaking, the common treatment schemes include in vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), etc. These different schemes require different drugs, devices and operation modes, which leads to different costs.
In addition, if other auxiliary technologies such as twin transfer and embryo cryopreservation are required during IVF, additional costs will be incurred. Therefore, before IVF treatment, couples should fully communicate with doctors, understand the cost and success rate of different treatment schemes, and choose their own scheme.
Comparison of different cities
In addition to Shenzhen, the cost of IVF in other cities is also of great concern. Compared with other first tier cities, Shenzhen's IVF costs are relatively low. For example, the cost of IVF in big cities such as Beijing and Shanghai is generally more than 100000 yuan. In Shenzhen, the general cost range is 30000 to 80000 yuan. Therefore, compared with other cities, Shenzhen's IVF costs can be said to be relatively reasonable.
In addition, the cost of IVF in some second tier cities and third and fourth tier cities may be lower. Because these cities have relatively few medical resources, less competition and relatively low prices. However, the medical level and equipment in these cities may not be as good as those in the first tier cities, which needs careful selection.
summary
To sum up, the cost of IVF in Shenzhen is relatively high, which is mainly affected by the choice of hospitals, different treatment schemes and comparison with other cities. When couples choose IVF treatment, they should choose appropriate hospitals and treatment schemes according to their own economic situation and actual needs. Although the cost is relatively high, IVF is a hope for infertile couples to realize their reproductive dreams.
