What is the economic investment of the third generation IVF?
The third generation IVF technology is a kind of assisted reproductive technology developed in recent years, which helps many families who cannot conceive naturally realize their dreams of childbirth. However, due to its high cost, many couples consider the economic burden when considering whether to choose this technology. This article will discuss the economic investment of three generations of IVF from many aspects.
1. Diagnosis and consultation costs
Before couples decide to adopt the third-generation IVF technology, they need to carry out a series of diagnosis and consultation first. These fees include basic physical examination, medical history investigation and consultation fees of fertility specialists. Usually these costs are relatively low, ranging from several thousand to ten thousand yuan.
With the development of science and technology, some hospitals also provide gene testing services to avoid the transmission of genetic diseases. The additional cost of genetic examination will depend on the complexity of the examination project, which may cost thousands to tens of thousands of yuan.
In addition, the hospital will also provide psychological counseling to couples to help them face possible pressure and emotional difficulties. These counseling fees are usually charged per hour, depending on the consultant's qualifications and experience.
2. Ovulation promotion and egg collection costs
In the third generation of IVF technology, women need ovulation induction therapy to produce more eggs for collection. This process usually requires multiple ovulation induction treatments and egg collection operations. These expenses mainly include ovulation promoting drugs, tuboscopy and surgery.
The price of ovulation promoting drugs is relatively high, usually requiring thousands to 10000 yuan. The cost of salpingoscopy is usually several thousand yuan. The cost of the egg collection operation will also vary depending on the hospital and the difficulty of the operation, which usually requires 30000 to 50000 yuan.
3. Fertilization and embryo transfer expenses
After successfully collecting eggs, in vitro fertilization or minimally invasive injection of single sperm into eggs is required for fertilization. This process requires a certain amount of laboratory equipment and technical support, and the cost is usually between thousands and tens of thousands of yuan.
After successful fertilization, the embryo needs to be transferred back to the mother. There are two ways of this process, one is fresh embryo transfer, the other is frozen embryo transfer. The cost of fresh embryo transfer mainly includes operation cost, drug cost and anesthesia cost, which is usually between 30000 yuan and 50000 yuan. The cost of frozen embryo transfer is relatively low, usually between 10000 and 30000 yuan.
4. Follow up auxiliary treatment costs
If the embryo transfer is successful, women need adjuvant treatment during pregnancy. These costs include prenatal examination, drug costs, prenatal examination costs and delivery costs. Usually these costs are between 10000 and 30000 yuan.
In addition, if couples choose to conduct pre implantation genetic examination and screening during IVF, this will increase additional costs. These costs mainly include gene testing, embryo cryopreservation and genetic counseling, which usually vary from tens of thousands of yuan.
To sum up, the economic investment of the third generation IVF includes the costs of diagnosis and consultation, ovulation promotion and egg collection, fertilization and embryo transfer, and follow-up auxiliary treatment. According to different hospitals and specific treatments, the economic investment of three generations of IVF is usually more than 100000 yuan. Therefore, couples need to fully understand the relevant economic input and make reasonable decisions before considering the third generation IVF technology.
