Medical expenses for the second generation of IVF
Test tube baby technology has long been an effective means to solve the problem of infertility, and the second generation of test tube baby technology is an advanced assisted reproductive technology further developed on this basis. Compared with the first generation, its operation is more sophisticated and its success rate has also improved. However, the medical expenses required for the second generation of IVF technology are also a considerable expense.
Hospital selection and diagnosis cost
First of all, selecting an experienced and well-equipped hospital is the primary condition for the successful second generation of IVF. Nationwide, well-known medical institutions such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine all have advanced IVF technology, but their medical costs are relatively high.
In the diagnosis step, the first step is a comprehensive physical examination and blood examination for both men and women, which can help doctors assess potential risk factors. Followed by the woman's tubal patency test, endometrial thickness test, and the man's semen analysis. The cost of these diagnoses is usually around 10000 to 20000 yuan.
In terms of medical expenses, according to different medical institutions, the cost of the second generation of IVF is about 200000 to 400000 yuan, which does not include the possible additional treatment costs.
The second generation of IVF surgery costs
The core of the second generation of IVF technology is the in vitro culture of embryos, which is a complex process. Patients need to undergo multiple egg retrieval operations, which is relatively expensive. The cost of surgery is affected by many factors, such as ovarian response, drug costs, etc. Usually, the cost of a single operation is between 30000 and 60000 yuan.
In addition, the second generation of IVF surgery also includes the process of embryo culture and transfer. Embryo culture usually takes 5-7 days and costs between 5000 and 10000 yuan. The cost of embryo transfer is about 10000 to 20000 yuan.
Adjuvant treatment and follow-up costs
Adjuvant therapy is an important part of the second generation of IVF. For example, the use of adjuvant pregnancy drugs will help to improve the success rate, but will increase the cost of treatment. Generally speaking, the drug cost per treatment cycle is between 10000 and 20000 yuan.
If the second generation of IVF technology fails to succeed at one time, patients may need to undergo multiple treatments to further increase costs. In addition, if the patient needs embryo cryopreservation, the corresponding freezing costs will also be incurred.
summary
To sum up, the medical expenses of the second generation of IVF are not small expenditures. From the perspective of hospital selection and diagnosis costs, surgery costs, auxiliary treatment and follow-up costs, the cost of the whole process is roughly between 200000 and 400000 yuan, and the specific cost may vary due to various factors. Before the second generation of IVF, families need to fully consider the economic and psychological pressure to make wise decisions.
