How much is the cost of IVF?
Test tube baby is a kind of high-tech reproductive technology. For many single people, it is a choice to realize their reproductive aspirations. However, the cost of IVF is a key factor to be considered. This article will discuss the cost of IVF and its calculation method from different aspects.
1. Hospital expenses
The first expense of IVF is hospital expense. There are differences in the costs of different hospitals. Generally, the costs of well-known large hospitals are higher, while some private hospitals and small hospitals are relatively low. Take a well-known Grade III A hospital as an example, including a series of projects such as ovulation monitoring, ultrasound examination, IVF surgery and postoperative follow-up, which are about 100000 yuan.
In addition, some hospitals may charge additional fees, such as routine laboratory fees, surgical materials fees, etc., which also need to be taken into account. Therefore, when choosing hospitals, we should carefully understand their costs and make reasonable comparisons.
2. Drug expenses
For IVF, a series of drugs are needed to promote follicular development and control ovulation time. The cost of drugs will vary according to the type and amount used. Take the commonly used ovulation promoting drug luteinizing hormone (HCG) for example, the price of each tube is about 1000 yuan.
In addition to ovulation promoting drugs, there are also follicular development promoting drugs, anti embryonic rejection drugs, etc. Each person's specific medication plan may be different, so the drug costs will also be different. Generally speaking, the drug cost accounts for a part of the total cost of IVF, and doctors should be consulted in advance for detailed understanding and estimation.
3. Auxiliary technology cost
In the process of IVF, some assistive technologies may be used to increase the probability of successful pregnancy. The most common are preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and embryo freezing technology. PGD can screen embryos for genes to prevent the birth of certain genetic diseases. Embryo freezing is to freeze the surplus embryos for future use.
The cost of these auxiliary technologies is relatively high, generally ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. It is necessary to choose whether these assistive technologies are needed and the specific cost budget according to personal conditions and doctor's suggestions.
4. Follow up expenses
After the IVF operation is successful, a series of follow-up examinations and nursing care are needed. This includes regular blood examination after embryo implantation, ultrasonic examination, pregnancy monitoring, etc. These follow-up fees are usually based on the actual situation of the individual and the doctor's advice.
In general, the cost of IVF is relatively high, involving hospital costs, drug costs, auxiliary technology costs and follow-up costs. The specific cost of each person will vary depending on personal circumstances and hospital choice. Therefore, before deciding to carry out IVF, doctors should be consulted in detail and the cost budget should be made so as to make a rational decision.
In conclusion, the cost of IVF is an important factor worth considering. From the comprehensive consideration of hospital costs, drug costs, auxiliary technology costs, follow-up costs and other aspects, for single people, clarifying the cost of IVF can better plan their personal life and economy. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the selection of formal hospitals and follow the doctor's advice to ensure the success and safety of IVF.
