Cost of third generation IVF
In recent years, with the continuous progress of medical science and technology, the third-generation IVF technology has received more and more attention and utilization. As a high-tech medical means, the cost of third-generation IVF is also the focus of attention. This article will elaborate on the cost of three generations of IVF from four aspects.
Influence of hospital selection
First of all, the selected hospital is one of the important factors that affect the cost of the third generation IVF. Different hospitals have different levels and equipment conditions, resulting in different costs. Taking Beijing as an example, some famous hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to Capital Medical University have relatively high costs for third-generation IVF due to their advanced technology and equipment. Some ordinary hospitals have relatively low costs due to technical capacity and equipment limitations.
Secondly, the location of the hospital will also have an impact on the cost. Hospitals in the first tier cities will have relatively high costs due to large market demand and relatively tight medical resources. However, hospitals in remote areas have relatively low costs due to the small number of patients and sufficient medical resources.
In addition, the service quality of different hospitals will also have an impact on the cost. Some high-end hospitals do better in services, such as providing more humanistic services and clinical psychological consultation. These additional services will increase the cost.
Cost difference of different technologies and operations
Three generations of IVF involve many technologies and operations, and different technologies and operations will have different costs.
The first is the process of taking eggs and sperm. The process of egg retrieval requires in vitro fertilization, and the acquisition of sperm also requires expenses. The use of technology and equipment in these processes will incur costs.
The second is the cost of embryo transfer. The process of embryo culture and testing requires expenses. If advanced technologies such as genetic screening and gender selection are needed, the cost will further increase.
Finally, the pregnancy management costs after transplantation. The success rate of the third generation IVF is relatively low, and multiple transplantation attempts are needed. The administrative costs of pregnancy also need to be taken into account. If surrogacy is required, the cost will increase again.
Cost of security project
In the process of three generations of IVF, some insurance projects also need expenses.
The first is the storage cost of frozen embryos. After successful transplantation, there may be multiple embryos obtained through in vitro fertilization, some of which can be frozen for future use. The storage of frozen embryos requires fees.
The second is the cost of body maintenance for embryo carriers. After embryo transfer, a series of physical maintenance work needs to be carried out, such as nutrition supplement, physical examination, etc. These work also needs expenses.
In addition, some preventive health measures also need expenses, such as insurance purchase, special diet and lifestyle adjustment.
Summary
To sum up, the cost of three generations of IVF is affected by many factors. Hospital selection, technology and operation selection, and security projects will have a direct impact on the cost. Before the third generation of IVF, we must fully understand the cost of relevant hospitals, and choose according to our own economic ability. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the detailed items in the expenses so as to comprehensively consider the expenses.
