Price of IVF
With the increase of the number of infertile patients, IVF, as an efficient way of reproduction, has attracted more and more attention. However, the cost of IVF is a concern for patients. The cost of IVF will vary according to different hospitals and the use of different technologies, so the price will also fluctuate. For example, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital is a well-known IVF hospital. The cost of IVF varies from 100000 yuan to 300000 yuan. The cost mainly depends on the cause of infertility and the technology used for treatment. Although the cost of IVF is high, for many infertile patients, the pain and cost of having a healthy baby is worth it.
In addition to the cost of IVF itself, other costs during medical treatment also need patients' attention. For example, the costs of gene testing, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, etc. These auxiliary costs will increase the cost of the whole treatment process, so patients need to consider the cost factors comprehensively when selecting hospitals and technologies.
However, it should be noted that the cost of IVF does not include the cost during and after pregnancy. Once the IVF is successful, the patient also needs to bear the costs of prenatal examination, fetal monitoring and delivery during pregnancy, which requires the patient to be prepared in advance.
The process of IVF
IVF-ET, also known as in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET), is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help infertile patients achieve the desire of pregnancy and fertility. Generally speaking, the process of IVF can be divided into the following steps:
The first step is for women to take eggs. The use of ovulation promoting drugs can stimulate the development of the ovary and make the ovary develop multiple follicles at the same time. Then, in the process of monitoring and observing the maturation of follicles, the fine needle puncture was used to remove the eggs from the follicles.
The second step is for men to provide sperm. Men provide semen samples through manual ejaculation or other methods.
The third step is in vitro fertilization. The extracted eggs and sperm are fertilized in vitro, that is, sperm is injected into the eggs to allow fertilization to occur.
The fourth step is embryo culture. The fertilized egg will continue to be cultured in the incubator, allowing the embryo to develop into a multi cell embryo.
The fifth step is embryo transfer. Transfer the well developed embryo into the female uterus, and help the embryo to implant and grow in the uterus through natural means or auxiliary technology.
Finally, pregnancy monitoring was carried out. If the embryo is successfully implanted, female patients need to be monitored during pregnancy to ensure the healthy development of the fetus.
Risk and success rate of IVF
Although IVF is an efficient birth method, it also has certain risks and success rate. First, the ovum retrieval operation may cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, leading to abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea and other uncomfortable symptoms. In addition, endometriosis may also occur during embryo transfer, leading to embryo implantation failure.
The success rate of IVF varies according to different patient conditions and hospital technologies. Generally speaking, younger women have a higher success rate, while older women have a lower success rate. In addition, if the patient has other infertility symptoms, such as male sperm quality problems or female fallopian tube problems, the success rate of IVF will also be affected.
As for the success rate of IVF, Beijing Maternity Hospital, as a technologically advanced hospital, has a success rate of about 60%, which is one of the important reasons why patients choose this hospital for IVF.
summary
As an efficient way of reproduction, IVF not only requires patients to bear high costs, but also may face certain risks and success rates. However, with the continuous progress of medical technology and the accumulation of clinical experience in hospitals, the cost of IVF is gradually declining, and the success rate is also increasing. Nevertheless, it is still necessary to weigh the advantages and disadvantages and make comprehensive preparations for choosing IVF. For infertile patients, choosing the appropriate hospital and scientific technology is an important guarantee to realize the fertility desire.
