How about the cost of IVF for older women?
Nowadays, more and more older women choose IVF to realize their reproductive dreams. However, the cost of IVF is not low, and many aspects of costs need to be considered. Next, we will elaborate on the cost of IVF for older women from different perspectives.
Medical examination expenses
The first step of IVF is to conduct medical examination to determine whether women are suitable for IVF surgery. These examinations include blood examination, endocrine examination, ultrasonic examination, etc., and their costs vary with hospitals and examination items. Generally speaking, the cost of these inspections is between 1000 and 5000 yuan, but it may also increase due to special circumstances.
In addition to women's medical examination, men's semen examination is also required. The cost is relatively stable, about 500 to 2000 yuan.
Medical examination expense is one of the necessary expenses in the process of IVF. Older women need to be fully prepared before IVF.
IVF operation cost
The cost of IVF surgery is one of the most expensive parts of the whole process. The cost of surgery is affected by many factors, including the reputation of the hospital, geographical location, doctor's experience, etc. In China, the cost of IVF surgery in some well-known high-quality hospitals can exceed 30000 yuan.
The cost of the operation usually includes the cost of freezing the embryo, which is to keep the spare embryo for a rainy day. In addition, additional costs such as auxiliary drugs and salpingoscopy may be required, which will further increase the total cost of surgery.
In general, the cost of IVF surgery is a significant economic burden for older women.
Drug expenses
IVF surgery requires a series of adjuvant drugs, which are relatively expensive. For example, ovulation promoting drugs, fetal protection drugs and pregnancy promoting drugs, among which ovulation promoting drugs cost the most in the whole process.
According to different hospitals and drug brands, drug costs will fluctuate. Generally speaking, the drug cost is between 5000 and 20000 yuan. However, because older women may need higher doses of drugs to increase the success rate of pregnancy, this part of the cost may be higher.
Late treatment expenses
After successful IVF surgery, older women still need a series of late treatment to ensure the smooth development of embryos and the stability of pregnancy. These treatments include progesterone supplementation, regular pregnancy examinations, etc.
The cost of late treatment varies according to the doctor's requirements and personal circumstances, and is about 3000 to 10000 yuan. In addition, if there are complications, such as multiple pregnancy or early abortion, it will lead to an increase in additional costs.
In a word, there are many costs for older women to carry out IVF. Medical examination, surgery, medicine and post-treatment will all have an impact on the cost. Therefore, before deciding to carry out IVF, older women should make an accurate economic budget to avoid giving up the dream of childbearing due to economic pressure.
Summary
IVF is a common reproductive option for older women, but its cost is not cheap. In terms of medical examination costs, IVF surgery costs, drug costs and late treatment costs, older women need to be fully prepared financially. According to different hospitals and personal conditions, the total cost of IVF can reach tens of thousands of yuan. Therefore, before deciding to carry out IVF, older women should seriously consider the economic situation and develop a reasonable financial plan to ensure that they can afford this expensive birth option.
