Is the cost of IVF high?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproduction technology. The fertilized egg is cultivated to the embryonic stage through in vitro fertilization, and then the embryo is implanted into the mother's uterus to assist infertile couples to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, compared with natural pregnancy, the cost of IVF rearing is indeed higher. The following is a detailed description of the cost of IVF rearing from several aspects.
medical expense
IVF requires a variety of medical procedures and operations, such as egg retrieval, sperm extraction, in vitro fertilization, etc. These medical operations need to be carried out by professional doctors and medical staff, as well as special equipment and drug support. Therefore, the medical cost of IVF is relatively high. Also consider that multiple attempts may be required, as pregnancy may not always be successful. Each attempt requires a certain amount of medical expenses, which further increases the cost of IVF rearing.
Taking a well-known hospital in China as an example, the medical expenses of IVF vary from 30000 yuan to 100000 yuan, depending on the hospital and individual conditions. This only includes the most basic medical expenses, and does not include any additional expenses.
Maternity support expenses
Many couples not only need to consider medical expenses, but also need to pay birth support fees when choosing IVF. Maternity support costs include consultation fees, psychological counseling fees, medical examination fees, etc. The whole process of IVF needs professional guidance and support, and doctors, nurses, psychological consultants and other professionals need to pay for their services.
In addition, in the process of IVF, embryos often need to be frozen for future use. The cost of frozen embryos should also be included in the cost of IVF fertility support.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, a variety of drugs are needed to regulate the menstrual cycle of women, promote ovarian ovulation, and prepare endometrium. These drugs usually need long-term use and are expensive. The cost of drugs varies according to the type and dosage of drugs.
Taking a well-known hospital in China as an example, the drug cost for IVF is about 20000 yuan to 50000 yuan. This is only the drug cost in the process of IVF, not including other costs.
Post care expenses
The cost of IVF baby rearing also includes the cost of post natal care. IVF birth may have some health problems, which need more attention and medical support. These costs include medical examination, treatment costs, drug costs, etc. At the same time, IVF babies often need to pay more attention to nutrition and care after birth, which will also increase the cost of rearing.
In conclusion, the cost of IVF rearing is relatively high, including medical expenses, birth support costs, drug costs and post care costs. Although IVF has brought fertility possibilities to infertile couples, couples need to be financially prepared when choosing IVF to ensure that they can bear these costs.
Summary
This article elaborates on the cost of IVF rearing from four aspects: medical cost, birth support cost, drug cost and post nursing cost. The cost of IVF is relatively high, which requires couples to make full financial preparations. However, the development of IVF technology and the improvement of medical conditions have also reduced the cost of parenting to a certain extent, giving more infertile couples the opportunity to realize their reproductive dreams.
