How much does the second generation of IVF cost?
IVF technology provides a chance for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, couples who are unable to conceive naturally face economic pressure because the IVF process is expensive. This article will discuss the cost of the second generation of IVF from many aspects.
Hospital expenses
The IVF process involves many medical links, including preliminary diagnosis, drug treatment, egg retrieval operation, fertilization, embryo culture, embryo transfer, etc. The charging standards of different hospitals will be different. Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, the total cost of the second generation of IVF babies is about 150000 yuan to 300000 yuan. The cost includes all links of hospital treatment, relevant auxiliary examinations and drug costs.
In addition, in addition to the hospital costs, IVF may need several attempts to achieve a successful pregnancy. Therefore, additional costs need to be set aside for possible re attempts.
Drug expenses
During IVF, female patients usually need to receive adjuvant drug therapy to promote follicle growth and ovulation. These drugs include ovulation promoting drugs, progesterone, etc. The cost of drugs varies according to the type, dosage and use period of drugs. According to the data of Beijing Maternity Hospital, the drug cost is about 10000 yuan to 50000 yuan. This fee is usually not included in the hospital fees and requires additional payment.
It should be noted that drug treatment may have side effects, and individual patients may need longer treatment or higher doses of drugs, thus increasing drug costs.
Auxiliary inspection expenses
In the process of IVF, a series of auxiliary examinations are needed to ensure the health of patients and embryos. These tests include gene testing, chromosome karyotype analysis, tubal patency test, sperm quality analysis, etc. The cost of auxiliary inspection varies according to the specific inspection items. Take Shanghai East China Hospital as an example, the cost of auxiliary examination is about 10000 yuan.
summary
In general, the expenses needed for the second generation of IVF include hospital expenses, drug expenses and auxiliary examination expenses. Taking Peking Union Medical College Hospital as an example, it costs about 150000 to 300000 yuan. In addition, the drug costs and auxiliary examination costs also need to be paid additionally. The second generation of IVF is an expensive treatment. For couples who cannot conceive naturally, economic pressure is an important consideration.
Therefore, before deciding on IVF treatment, couples should carefully consider their economic ability, and consult their doctors during the treatment process to understand the specific cost, so as to make reasonable decisions. It is hoped that with the progress of science and technology and the reduction of medical costs, IVF technology can bring good news to more couples who cannot conceive naturally.
