IVF medical expenses
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which can help those couples who are difficult to conceive naturally realize their reproductive dreams. However, IVF treatment is not cheap, especially for 50 year old prospective parents. Before preparing for IVF treatment, it is very important to understand the related costs. The following will elaborate on medical expenses, drug expenses, diminishing costs and other costs.
medical expense
The medical cost of IVF is one of the most important parts of the whole treatment process. The cost varies according to the region and hospital, and generally includes the following aspects:
1. Diagnosis cost: Before IVF treatment, couples generally need to carry out a series of basic diagnoses of infant infertility, including blood and urine tests, ultrasound tests, endocrine tests, etc. These costs may range from thousands to 10000 yuan.
2. Operation expenses: IVF technology involves multiple steps, including egg donation, sperm supply, egg retrieval, embryo transfer and other surgical operations. These operations may cost tens of thousands of yuan.
3. Artificial insemination cost: For couples without sperm supply, artificial insemination is required. The cost of this technology may be between thousands and 10000 yuan.
In addition to the above costs, there are other medical related costs, such as postoperative care costs, tubal examination costs, etc.
Drug expenses
IVF treatment requires the use of a variety of drugs to promote egg development, follicle maturation and embryo implantation. The cost of these drugs is also an important part of the treatment process.
1. Cost of ovulation promoting drugs: Ovulation promoting drugs can help women release more eggs and improve the probability of successful pregnancy. The cost of these drugs varies according to the brand and dosage, generally between thousands and 10000 yuan.
2. Cost of progesterone and estrogen drugs: These drugs are used to maintain pregnancy and improve the probability of embryo implantation. The cost varies from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan depending on the brand and dosage.
3. Other auxiliary medicine expenses: In the process of IVF treatment, some auxiliary drugs may be needed, such as antibiotics, analgesics, etc. The cost of these drugs varies from hundreds to thousands depending on the brand and dosage.
Diminishing cost
IVF treatment is a process that requires repeated attempts. Usually, after the first attempt, prospective parents may not be able to conceive successfully. In this case, they need to continue to try, and may enjoy diminishing costs. For example, some hospitals offer a discount on the second attempt to encourage couples to continue treatment. Declining costs are an important economic consideration for couples who are prepared to try many times.
other expenses
In addition to medical and drug costs, IVF treatment may involve other costs:
1. Hospitalization expenses: If the operation requires hospitalization, the treatment cost may increase.
2. Consultation fee: If consultation by other professional doctors is required, additional consultation fees may be required.
3. Cost of frozen live embryos: If you need to freeze the embryos, you may have to pay additional fees.
In general, 50 year old IVF needs to prepare hundreds of thousands of yuan, of which medical expenses and drug expenses are the most important part. However, the cost will vary from region to region and hospital to hospital. It is recommended that couples understand the relevant costs in detail and make reasonable financial plans before choosing hospitals and conducting treatment.
