How much is the cost of IVF in China?
IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is used to help couples who cannot conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. However, the cost of IVF has always been one of the focuses of attention. This article will elaborate on the cost of IVF in China from four aspects.
medical expense
The medical expenses of IVF mainly include diagnosis expenses, medicine expenses, operation expenses, etc. First, couples need to carry out a series of medical examinations, such as blood examination, semen examination, endocrine examination, etc., to determine whether it is suitable for IVF. This part of the cost usually ranges from thousands to 10000 yuan, depending on different hospitals and regions. Secondly, in the process of IVF, all kinds of drugs need to be used, such as ovulation promoting drugs, luteinizing hormone, etc. The drug cost is generally between thousands and 10000 yuan. Finally, IVF surgery is the largest expense, which generally ranges from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan, mainly including egg retrieval surgery and embryo transfer surgery.
Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, the medical expenses of IVF in this hospital are about 300000 to 400000 yuan, of which the surgical expenses account for about 70% of the total expenses. In high-end private hospitals, the medical expenses of IVF may be higher, reaching 500000 yuan or more.
Preoperative auxiliary expenses
Before IVF surgery, couples need to carry out some preoperative adjuvant treatment and preparation. These auxiliary expenses include salpingography, hysteroscopy, sperm freezing, etc. For example, the cost of salpingography is about 2000-3000 yuan, and the cost of hysteroscopy is about 3000-5000 yuan. These costs will also vary depending on hospitals and regions.
Related expenses in later period
After IVF surgery, some late treatment and examination are needed. These costs include prenatal examination, fetal monitoring, and treatment for fetal protection. The pre pregnancy examination is mainly used to confirm the embryonic development and fetal health, and the cost is generally between 1000 yuan and 1000 yuan. Fetal monitoring is mainly carried out during pregnancy, and the cost varies from hundreds to thousands of yuan. The treatment of fetal protection includes the use of progesterone, anticoagulants and other drugs for fetal protection. The cost varies according to the type of drugs used and the treatment cycle.
Factors that may affect expenses
The cost of IVF is affected by many factors, such as regional economic level, hospital size, doctor experience, etc. Generally speaking, the hospital costs in the first tier cities are high, while those in other cities are relatively low. In addition, the technical level and equipment conditions of different hospitals will also directly affect the cost. The experience and popularity of doctors are also one of the determinants of the cost. The cost of well-known doctors is usually higher than that of ordinary doctors.
In general, the cost of IVF in China is relatively high, usually between several hundred thousand yuan and one million yuan. Therefore, couples need to consider the economic pressure when choosing IVF, and make decisions after consulting doctors.
Summary
To sum up, the costs of domestic IVF mainly include medical expenses, preoperative auxiliary expenses and late related expenses. Among them, medical expenses are the largest expenses, which generally range from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan. Preoperative auxiliary costs and late related costs are relatively low, but economic pressure should also be considered. The cost of IVF is affected by many factors, such as regional economic level, hospital size and doctor experience.
