Development and background of IVF
In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is used to treat infertility. With the progress of technology and people's desire for children, IVF has become a viable option in many families. The success rate of IVF is positively related to the price, so it is important for families in need to understand the price standard of IVF.
First, the price of IVF is affected by several factors:
1. The popularity, technical level and equipment sophistication of the hospital implementing IVF technology.
2. The severity and complexity of personal infertility.
3. Drugs and devices needed in the whole process of executing IVF.
4. Geographical location and medical expense standard.
Hospital price standard
Many hospitals in China provide IVF services, and some well-known hospitals have standardized the price of IVF. For example, the IVF service provided by a large maternity hospital in Beijing is divided into different prices according to different stages. First, the cost of preliminary inspection and evaluation is usually between 2000 and 5000 yuan. Then, the cost of hormone therapy and follicle stimulation is about 5000-10000 yuan. Finally, the cost of embryo transfer and blastocyst transfer is between 10000 and 30000 yuan. In general, the price of IVF in this hospital is between 30000 yuan and 80000 yuan.
Another high-end private hospital in Shanghai has a relatively high price of IVF. The cost of preliminary examination and evaluation is about 5000-10000 yuan, the cost of hormone therapy and follicle stimulation phase is about 10000-20000 yuan, and the cost of embryo transfer and blastocyst transfer is about 20000-50000 yuan. Therefore, the price of IVF in this hospital is between 50000 yuan and 150000 yuan.
Influence of personal factors on price
The severity and complexity of individual infertility will also affect the price of IVF. If both couples have obvious reproductive problems, such as low sperm quality or tubal obstruction, more treatment, surgery or special techniques will be required, thus increasing the cost of the whole IVF process.
In addition, age is also an important factor. The growth of female age will lead to the decline of egg quality, which will reduce the success rate of IVF. In order to improve the success rate, doctors usually recommend older women to have multiple IVF, which will undoubtedly increase the cost of the whole process.
The use of drugs and devices is also an important factor affecting the price of personal factors. According to different infertility problems, doctors may need to prescribe different kinds of drugs and use various auxiliary equipment. These additional costs will increase the price of IVF.
Geographic location and medical cost standard
The price of IVF will also be affected by geographical location and medical cost standards. Generally speaking, the medical expenses in big cities are high, and the price of IVF is relatively high. In particular, some well-known large hospitals are often more expensive than other places. In relatively small cities or regions, IVF is usually cheaper.
In addition, regional medical expense standards will also affect the price of IVF. For example, medical expenses in Beijing and Shanghai are generally high, while those in some western regions are relatively low. Therefore, geographical location and medical expenses should also be considered when selecting IVF hospitals.
summary
The price standard of IVF is determined according to different hospitals, personal factors, the use of drugs and devices, geographical location, medical cost standards and other factors. Generally speaking, the price of well-known hospitals and private hospitals is relatively high, and the severity of infertility and personal age will also affect the price. Geographical location and medical cost standards are also important factors that determine the price of IVF. Therefore, when choosing IVF hospitals, families should fully consider these factors and make appropriate choices according to their own conditions.
