IVF expenses
Test tube baby technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used to solve the problem of infertility. However, IVF treatment often requires high cost support, which mainly includes medical costs, drug costs and other related costs.
First, medical expenses are one of the most basic expenses in IVF treatment. Medical expenses include gynecological examination, hormone monitoring, egg collection operation, embryo transfer operation, etc. These operations need professional doctors and related medical equipment, so they will occupy a large cost.
Secondly, drug cost is another important cost source in IVF treatment. IVF treatment usually requires ovulation promoting drugs to increase egg production, and hormone drugs to promote the endometrium to adapt to embryo implantation. These drugs are expensive, and with individual differences, they need to be adjusted according to the specific conditions of patients. Therefore, drug costs can not be ignored in IVF treatment.
In addition, other related costs also need to be considered. For example, infertility inspection costs, embryo freezing costs, embryo retrograde transport costs, etc. Although these costs may be different for each patient, they will exert some financial pressure on the overall costs.
Sequelae of IVF
Although IVF technology has achieved great success in solving the problem of infertility, it also has some sequelae.
First, multiple pregnancy is one of the common sequelae of IVF treatment. In order to increase the success rate of pregnancy, doctors usually transfer multiple embryos into the patient's uterus, which increases the risk of multiple pregnancy. Multiple pregnancy has certain risks for both pregnant women and fetuses, such as premature delivery and delivery complications.
Secondly, IVF technology may increase the risk of abnormal chromosome embryos. Due to the particularity of IVF technology, it may lead to the selection of embryos with chromosome abnormalities. If the embryo with abnormal chromosome continues to develop, it may lead to embryo implantation failure, spontaneous abortion or the risk of chromosome defects after birth.
In addition, there are certain risks in the operation of IVF. For example, egg collection surgery may cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which is manifested as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, nausea and other uncomfortable symptoms. Embryo transfer surgery may also have a certain risk of infection, although modern medical technology has greatly reduced this risk.
Model hospitals and related information
In China, many hospitals provide IVF technology services. For example, Peking Union Medical College Hospital is one of the earliest hospitals in China to conduct research and application of IVF technology. The hospital has a team of excellent experts to provide all-round technical support and services for IVF.
Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is also one of the first-class IVF centers in China. Ruijin Hospital took the lead in introducing the world's most advanced IVF equipment and technology, and has made important contributions to constantly promoting technological innovation and development.
In addition, Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Region is also a well-known IVF hospital in China. The hospital has an experienced IVF team with advanced equipment and superb technology.
summary
Test tube baby technology is an important medical technology, which brings new hope to many infertile couples. However, IVF treatment requires certain costs, mainly including medical costs, drug costs and other related costs. At the same time, IVF technology also has some sequelae, such as the risk of multiple pregnancy, abnormal chromosome embryos and the risk of surgical procedures. Despite these problems, risks can be controlled and success rate can be improved by selecting regular hospitals and professional doctors and making reasonable choices based on their own conditions and doctors' suggestions.
