How high is the economic input of IVF in China?
As a kind of assisted reproductive technology, IVF has become a way for many infertile couples to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, IVF is not only a technical problem, it also involves a large amount of economic input. This article will elaborate on the economic investment of IVF in China from many aspects.
Hospital expenses
The cost of IVF hospitals in China varies due to factors such as hospital size, service quality and geographical location. In famous specialized hospitals in big cities, the medical expenses of IVF are generally high. Generally, a complete IVF cycle includes ovulation monitoring, ovum retrieval, in vitro fertilization of sperm and eggs, embryo culture and embryo transfer, and costs about 200000 yuan.
At the same time, there are some additional costs to consider. For example, some patients with basic diseases may need to have treatment and auxiliary examinations for related diseases, and these costs will increase additionally. In addition, IVF may require multiple transplants. If the previous transplants were unsuccessful, patients need to continue to try, which will also increase economic investment.
In general, the hospital cost of IVF in China is high, and different hospitals and individuals will have different conditions.
Drug expenses
In the process of IVF, a large number of assisted reproductive drugs are needed to promote ovarian development and control ovulation. The cost of these drugs is also an important part of economic input.
Generally, the drug cost for a complete IVF cycle is about 50000 yuan. The specific cost varies according to the type of drug and individual conditions. It should be noted that the drug cost is only a rough estimate, and the actual cost may change due to individual differences and the adjustment of treatment plans.
Physical examination expenses
IVF requires a series of physical examinations to ensure that the patient's physical condition meets the requirements for IVF. These physical examinations include blood routine examination, liver function examination, kidney function examination, sex hormone examination, etc.
The cost of physical examination varies depending on the hospital and the examination items, ranging from thousands to 10000 yuan. In addition, the medical examination fee may also be affected by the individual condition of the patient. For example, if the patient has a basic disease or poor physical condition, more special examinations may be required, and the fee will increase accordingly.
Therefore, before IVF, patients need to carry out detailed physical examination in advance and reserve a certain economic budget for medical examination expenses.
Psychological and social support costs
IVF is a hard journey for both husband and wife, which will inevitably bring psychological and social pressure. At this time, seeking help from psychological and social support becomes an important part.
Some domestic hospitals provide psychological counseling services to help couples cope with psychological problems and negative emotions in the process of IVF through the guidance and support of psychological experts. In addition, some IVF related social groups and support organizations can also provide opportunities for couples to understand and share their experiences.
The cost of these psychological and social support varies according to individual needs and service items, ranging from several thousand yuan to ten thousand yuan.
In general, the economic investment of IVF in China is very huge. In addition to hospital costs, drug costs and physical examination costs, couples also need to face the cost of psychological and social support in the process of IVF. Therefore, before deciding to carry out IVF, prospective parents need to fully understand the relevant costs and make financial preparations.
