Hospital expenses

In addition to operating expenses, hospital expenses also include other related service expenses, such as medical examination fees, laboratory fees, operating room use fees, etc. These costs will generally account for a part of the total cost of IVF.
Drug expenses
IVF surgery requires a series of drugs to regulate the hormone levels in women's bodies to promote the development and maturation of eggs. These drugs include ovulation promoting drugs, luteinizing hormone, etc., and their costs will vary according to the doctor's prescription and the patient's individual situation. Generally speaking, these drug costs are an important part of the total cost of IVF.
It should be noted that due to different physical conditions of each person, the reaction to drugs and treatment needs will also be different. Some patients may need more or higher doses of drugs, which will increase drug costs.
Auxiliary technology cost
IVF surgery may also need some auxiliary technologies to improve the success rate, such as embryo freezing, embryo detection, etc. The cost of these technologies will also be included in the total cost of IVF.
Embryo freezing refers to the freezing and preservation of surplus embryos for future use, which requires special equipment and places, so the cost is high. Embryo testing refers to genetic and biochemical testing of embryos to improve the success rate of pregnancy. This technology also requires professional laboratories and equipment, and the cost is relatively high.
