Cost of IVF in Japan
IVF is one of the assisted reproductive technologies, which has been increasingly accepted and pursued by people in recent years. In Japan, IVF technology has also been widely used. However, the cost of IVF is an issue that cannot be ignored. This article will introduce the cost of IVF in Japan from four aspects.
medical expense
The medical cost of IVF is one of the most important costs in the process of IVF. In Japan, the medical expenses of IVF include the following aspects.
The first is the cost of male sperm examination, which usually costs 3000 to 5000 yen. The second is the cost of ovulation monitoring for women, which is about 5000 to 8000 yen. In addition, anesthesia is required during egg retrieval, and the cost of anesthesia is about 20000 to 50000 yuan. Finally, IVF needs embryo cultivation and transplantation, and the cost is about 200000 to 300000 yuan. Therefore, from the perspective of medical expenses alone, the cost of IVF is about 260000 to 380000 yuan.
Drug expenses
Drugs are an indispensable part of the IVF process and an important part of the cost. In Japan, IVF babies need to use some ovulation promoting drugs, luteinizing hormone and other auxiliary drugs. The cost of these drugs depends on different treatment schemes and individual conditions.
Generally speaking, the commonly used ovulation promoting drugs are clomiphene (its Japanese brand name is ク ッ ド) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hMG). The cost of clomiphene is about 3000 to 5000 yen per box, while the cost of hMG is about 8000 to 12000 yuan per box. The cost of luteinizing hormone is about 3000 to 5000 yen per box. The type and dosage of drugs used by IVF vary from individual to individual, so the drug costs will also vary.
Inspection expenses
In the process of IVF, multiple physical examinations and various examinations are required, and these examination fees must also be included in the cost of IVF. The examination fee mainly includes the basic examination fee and the examination fee for excluded diseases.
The basic examination cost includes ultrasound examination of uterus and ovary, which is used to determine whether the ovary has difficulty in ovulation and other factors. This part costs about 3000 to 5000 yen each time. The examination fee for excluded diseases is used to exclude the impact of potential diseases existing in patients or their spouses on IVF. These examinations include genetic disease screening, venereal disease examination, etc., and the cost depends on the specific project.
other expenses
In addition to medical costs, drug costs and examination costs, there are other costs to be considered in the IVF process.
The first is the cost of transportation and accommodation. Since the IVF process usually requires multiple trips to the hospital, patients need to pay for transportation and accommodation. This part of the cost varies according to individual circumstances.
In addition, the cost of psychological counseling during IVF should also be considered. The process of IVF has great psychological pressure on both husband and wife, so the cost of psychological consultation cannot be ignored.
To sum up, the costs of IVF in Japan include medical costs, drug costs, inspection costs and other costs. The cost varies according to different hospitals, different treatment schemes and individual conditions. Therefore, before deciding to carry out the IVF process, the patient should consult with the doctor in detail and understand the relevant costs to make a rational decision.
