Cost composition and budget of IVF
IVF technology is a complex medical process, which requires a lot of money. The following details the costs required for IVF and how to budget them from different aspects.
medical expense
The first thing that IVF needs to pay is medical expenses. This includes the costs of preliminary physical examination, IVF (in vitro fertilization) surgery, embryo transfer, etc. The cost varies from hospitals and regions, generally ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan. In China, well-known hospitals such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai First Maternal and Infant Health Hospital provide IVF services at relatively high costs.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the core link in the process of IVF, which includes drug costs, egg retrieval costs and IVF costs. For example, in Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the cost of IVF is about 20000 yuan.
Embryo transfer is also an important part of IVF, and the cost is generally between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan. In addition, the cost of assisted infant technology (such as advanced PGD/PGS in China) should also be considered. This technology can perform gene screening on embryos, which costs about 10000 to 20000 yuan.
Drug expenses
IVF needs to use a series of drugs to promote ovarian ovulation, control endometrial development and improve pregnancy rate. These drugs include gonadotropin, estrogen, progesterone, etc., and the cost is relatively high. It is estimated that 20000 to 30000 yuan will be needed to purchase these drugs in hospitals.
In addition to the normal treatment drugs, some patients may need additional injections of anticoagulants, antibiotics, etc. to prevent complications. The cost of these additional drugs varies from individual to individual, and it costs thousands to 10000 yuan.
Regular examination and follow-up expenses
In the process of IVF, regular inspection is required to ensure that the ovarian ovulation is in good condition and to monitor the embryonic development. These tests include blood tests, ultrasound tests, etc., and the cost varies from hundreds to 1000 yuan. In addition, they also need to return to the hospital regularly for follow-up, pay attention to their physical conditions, and the cost should be determined according to individual conditions.
Ancillary expenses
In addition to the above costs directly related to medical treatment, some auxiliary costs need to be considered. For example, because IVF babies need frequent medical treatment, the transportation costs to and from hospitals will increase. In addition, accommodation costs and food costs are also factors to be considered.
At the same time, in the process of IVF, nutrition supplement and physical exercise are often needed to improve the pregnancy rate. These additional costs also need to be included in the budget.
To sum up, the amount of money that IVF needs to invest includes medical expenses, drug expenses, regular inspection and follow-up expenses, and auxiliary expenses. In general, the cost of IVF is between tens of thousands and 200000 yuan. Prices vary by region, hospital and individual. For families wishing to carry out IVF, it is crucial to accurately budget these costs in order to make appropriate decisions.
