How high is the cost of IVF in 2017?
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help couples with infertility problems such as ovulation disorders and tubal obstruction realize their dreams of fertility. However, the cost of IVF has always been the focus of couples' attention. So, how high is the cost of IVF in 2017? The following is a detailed description of hospital selection, treatment scheme, drug cost and auxiliary technology.
Hospital selection
The cost of IVF is directly related to the selected hospital. In China, the cost of IVF treatment in large medical institutions such as Grade A hospitals and reproductive hospitals is relatively high. For example, the cost of IVF in Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is about 200000 yuan. In some prefecture level cities or county-level hospitals, the cost of IVF is relatively low, about 100000 yuan. Therefore, couples can choose suitable hospitals according to their economic capacity and treatment needs.
Treatment plan
According to the situation and needs of patients, doctors will develop different treatment plans, and the costs will vary accordingly. Generally speaking, the most basic IVF treatment includes in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer. Among them, the cost of in vitro fertilization is about 50000 yuan, and the cost of embryo transfer is about 30000 yuan. In addition, for special cases, such as ovarian stimulation treatment, hormone intervention and other additional treatment may increase costs.
In addition, some hospitals also provide some targeted treatment programs, such as the cost of frozen embryos is about 10000 yuan, and the cost of PGD (single gene genetic disease screening) is about 30000 yuan. Therefore, couples need to make reasonable decisions according to their own conditions and economic affordability when choosing treatment plans.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF treatment, some ovulation promoting drugs and ovulation promoting control agents need to be used. The cost of these drugs is also an important part of the cost of IVF. According to different drug doses and treatment courses, the drug cost is about 10000 yuan. In some special cases, such as patients with damaged ovarian function or older patients, more drugs may be needed and the cost will increase accordingly.
Auxiliary technology
In the process of IVF, some auxiliary technologies may be needed, such as embryo monitoring, embryo incubator, etc. These technologies can improve the success rate of IVF, but also increase the cost. The cost of auxiliary technology is about 10000 yuan, which depends on the needs of hospitals and patients.
To sum up, in 2017, the cost of IVF mainly includes hospital selection, treatment scheme, drug cost and auxiliary technology. The specific cost is determined according to the patient's situation and the hospital's pricing, generally between 100000 yuan and 200000 yuan. Therefore, before IVF treatment, couples need to fully understand their own situation and economic situation and make reasonable choices. At the same time, we can also refer to the prices of many hospitals and choose medical institutions with high cost performance ratio for treatment.
In a word, the cost of IVF is affected by many factors, including hospital selection, treatment scheme, drug cost and auxiliary technology. Couples need to make reasonable decisions according to their own conditions and economic capacity, and actively seek medical institutions to ensure safe and effective IVF treatment.
