What is IVF?
IVF refers to an assisted reproductive technology that combines sperm and eggs in the laboratory through in vitro fertilization technology, and then transplants the fertilized eggs into the female uterus to help infertile couples achieve fertility. Test tube baby is a major breakthrough in medical science and technology, which also brings hope to many infertile couples.
What effect does IVF have on children?
First, there is no significant difference in physical development between IVF and naturally conceived infants. Research shows that the development level, intelligence and physical health of test tube babies are comparable to those of naturally conceived babies.
Secondly, IVF may face some potential risks related to technology. For example, the hormone levels of mothers during pregnancy may be different, which may affect the development of the baby. In addition, IVF babies may face the risk of premature delivery, which may lead to a series of health problems.
In addition, IVF babies may experience psychological pressure and challenges. Because they were born through scientific means, they may face doubts, puzzles and problems about biological kinship. As test tube babies, children need to face social concerns and expectations, which may have a certain impact on their mental health.

The cost of IVF varies from hospital to hospital and region to region. Generally speaking, the cost of IVF includes medical examination, surgery, medicine, etc. In China, the cost of IVF is between 200000 yuan and 500000 yuan.
