What items are included in the cost of second-generation IVF
The continuous development and progress of IVF technology has brought hope to those couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, the cost of second-generation IVF is relatively high, including several projects. This article will elaborate on the cost items of second-generation IVF from four aspects: medical examination, IVF process, surgery costs and drug costs.
Medical examination expenses
Before starting the IVF process, couples need to undergo a series of medical examinations to assess their physical condition and fertility problems. These examinations include but are not limited to blood examination, gene examination, endocrine examination and imaging examination. The cost of these examinations varies from hospital to hospital, region to region and project to project, usually between 2000 and 5000 yuan.
In addition, the woman needs to conduct salpingography and hysteroscopy to determine whether the fallopian tube is unobstructed and whether the uterine cavity is abnormal. The cost of these inspections is about 3000-8000 yuan.
In general, the medical examination fee is an indispensable expense in the process of second-generation IVF. The fee will vary according to different examination items and regions.
Process cost of IVF
The cost of IVF process includes in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer.
The first is the IVF process, including superovulation and oocyte retrieval. Superovulation is the use of hormones to stimulate the ovaries to discharge multiple eggs to increase the probability of pregnancy. The cost of this step is usually between 8000-15000 yuan. Eggs are taken out by surgery, and the cost of this step is about 8000-15000 yuan.
Next is the process of embryo transfer, that is, the fertilized egg is transferred to the woman's uterus. The cost of this step is usually between 10000-20000 yuan. If embryos are cryopreserved and transferred, additional costs will be incurred.
The cost of IVF process will vary from hospital to hospital. The cost listed here is only a rough range.
Operation expenses
In the process of IVF, the woman needs to perform a series of surgical operations. These operations include salpingography, hysteroscopy, egg retrieval and embryo transfer.
The cost of salpingography and hysteroscopy has been mentioned in the medical examination cost, and the cost of ovum retrieval is usually between 8000-15000 yuan. The cost of embryo transfer is about 10000-20000 yuan.
In addition, if complications occur or additional surgical treatment is required, the cost will be further increased. The cost of surgery varies with hospitals, regions and surgical procedures.
Drug expenses
The drugs used in IVF mainly include ovulation promoting drugs, follicle maturation promoting drugs, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and endometrial preparation drugs.
The cost of these drugs is an important part of the cost of second-generation IVF. According to the type and dosage of drugs used, the drug cost is usually between 10000 and 20000 yuan.
Summary
The second generation IVF costs include medical examination costs, IVF process costs, surgery costs and drug costs. The medical examination fee varies according to different projects and regions, usually between 2000 and 5000 yuan. The cost of IVF process includes IVF and embryo transfer process, and there is a large gap in the cost of each link. The cost of surgery varies according to the operation, and usually ranges from RMB 8000-20000. The drug cost mainly covers ovulation promoting drugs, follicle maturation promoting drugs, HCG and endometrial preparation drugs, and the cost is usually between 10000 and 20000 yuan. In general, the cost of second-generation IVF is relatively high, which needs comprehensive evaluation and consideration by both husband and wife.
