Medical expenses of second-generation IVF
The second-generation IVF technology is an assisted reproductive technology, which is used to help couples who cannot conceive realize their reproductive dreams. Although this technology has a high success rate, its medical cost is also a concern of many couples. The medical expenses of second-generation IVF generally include the following aspects:
1. In vitro fertilization (IVF) costs
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the core technology of second-generation IVF, and its cost is relatively high. First of all, couples need to pay the outpatient fees of IVF hospitals, which are generally between hundreds and 1000 yuan. Then, couples need to carry out various examinations according to their own conditions, including blood examination, salpingography, etc., and the costs of these examinations should also be borne by themselves. Finally, the cost of IVF surgery varies from 15000 yuan to 30000 yuan, depending on the level of the region, the hospital and the doctor's experience.
2. Embryo implantation expenses
After successful in vitro fertilization, the doctor will culture the fertilized eggs for several days, and then select the best embryo for implantation into the uterus. The cost of embryo implantation usually ranges from 10000 yuan to 20000 yuan. The cost is related to the number of embryos, implantation times, technical difficulties and other factors.
3. Drug expenses
In the process of second-generation IVF, some hormone drugs need to be used to promote ovulation, control luteal function and enhance the probability of embryo implantation. The cost of these drugs is relatively high, and the cost of drugs for a treatment is usually between 10000 yuan and 20000 yuan.
4. Follow up expenses
The success rate of second-generation IVF is not 100%, and some couples may need to try many times to succeed. Therefore, the cost of follow-up is also a factor to be considered. Follow up costs include re examination, consultation, drug costs, etc., depending on individual circumstances.
Technical steps of second-generation IVF
The technical steps of the second-generation IVF mainly include the following steps:
1. Preliminary preparation
Couples need to carry out a series of examinations to assess the reproductive age, female ovulation, male sperm quality, etc. At the same time, the doctor will understand the family medical history, marriage and childbearing history of the couple to provide reference for subsequent diagnosis and treatment.
2. Ovulation promotion process
Doctors will formulate appropriate ovulation promotion programs and use hormone drugs to promote follicular growth according to women's cycle. During this period, the doctor will conduct regular inspection, adjust the drug dosage, and ensure the timing and quality of ovulation.
3. Collection of mature eggs
Doctors will perform egg collection operations at the time points before and after ovulation. The operation is usually carried out under anesthesia. The eggs are collected by vaginal puncture, and then sent to the laboratory for fertilization.
4. Embryo culture and implantation
The successfully fertilized eggs will be cultured in the laboratory for 2-6 days to form multiple embryos. Doctors will select the best embryo for endometrial implantation according to the development of the embryo. After implantation, couples need to have a rest for a period of time, waiting for the embryo implantation.
5. Pregnancy and pregnancy management
If the embryo implantation is successful, the couple will enter the pregnancy stage. The doctor will conduct pregnancy and pregnancy management to ensure the healthy development of the fetus.
Hospital of second-generation IVF
There are many well-known IVF hospitals nationwide, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Shanghai Changhai Hospital, Guangzhou Armed Police General Hospital, etc. These hospitals have professional medical teams and advanced equipment, which can provide quality second-generation IVF services for couples.
In addition, there are some professional IVF hospitals, such as Beijing Tianlun Hospital, Shanghai Likang Hospital, Guangzhou Huamei Hospital, etc. These hospitals are committed to the research and development of assisted reproductive technology and have rich clinical experience.
summary
As an assisted reproductive technology, the second-generation IVF has brought hope for couples who cannot conceive naturally. However, its medical costs are high, including in vitro fertilization costs, embryo implantation costs, drug costs and follow-up costs. The technical steps mainly include preliminary preparation, ovulation induction process, collection of mature eggs, embryo culture and implantation, and pregnancy and pregnancy management. There are many professional IVF hospitals across the country, providing quality services. When choosing hospitals and treatment plans, couples should consider their own economic capacity and actual conditions, and make decisions under the guidance of professional doctors.
