Price of test tube babies abroad
IVF is a method of achieving fertility through assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples who cannot conceive naturally for various reasons to achieve their fertility aspirations. However, unlike IVF in China, the price of IVF abroad is relatively high. The price of foreign IVF will be described in detail in the following four aspects: medical expenses, drug expenses, surgery expenses and accommodation expenses.
medical expense
The medical cost of IVF abroad is one of the main reasons for the relatively high cost. In some developed countries, such as the United States and Britain, the medical cost of IVF is very expensive. According to statistics, the average cost of IVF in the United States is 25000 to 40000 dollars, while the average cost in the United Kingdom is 15000 to 30000 pounds. These costs include the doctor's diagnosis and treatment costs, laboratory examination costs, and late pregnancy monitoring costs.
In addition, some foreign medical institutions also provide additional services, such as genetic counseling and embryo screening, which will also increase the overall cost of IVF.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, a series of drugs are needed to promote ovulation and increase the chance of pregnancy. The cost of these drugs is also one of the reasons for the high price of IVF in foreign countries. For example, the cost of ovulation promoting drugs (such as luteinizing hormone) and hormone therapy is usually higher in foreign countries.
In addition, due to individual differences and different treatment plans, the dosage and type of drugs required by each patient will also be different, so the drug costs will vary according to individual circumstances.
Operation expenses
A series of surgical operations are required for IVF, including egg retrieval and embryo implantation. The cost of these operations is also one of the factors leading to the high price of IVF in foreign countries.
The operating expenses mainly include the use of surgical instruments, the use of operating rooms and the costs of surgeons. Depending on the complexity of the operation and the geographical location of the hospital, the cost of the operation will also vary.
Accommodation expenses
When carrying out test tube babies abroad, patients need to live near the hospital for a period of time to complete the whole treatment process. This may require additional accommodation costs.
Accommodation costs vary from country to country and city to city. In some countries, IVF hospitals provide inpatient services, and renting a room or staying in a hotel near the hospital is also a choice for patients. These accommodation costs will also be one of the reasons for the relatively high price of IVF in foreign countries.
Summary
To sum up, the price of IVF in foreign countries is relatively high, mainly due to medical expenses, drug expenses, surgery expenses and accommodation expenses. Despite the high price of IVF in foreign countries, many couples still choose to go to these countries for IVF because it provides higher success rate and better medical conditions. However, for those couples whose economic conditions are not sufficient, the high price of foreign IVF may become a major obstacle to their inability to achieve their reproductive aspirations.
