What are the surgical expenses in the cost details of the third generation IVF?
The progress of modern medicine makes the three generations of IVF become an effective means for infertile patients to achieve their reproductive aspirations. However, the operation cost involved in the process of three generations of IVF is one of the most concerned issues for patients and their families. This article will elaborate on what the surgical expenses of the third-generation IVF include from four aspects.
First aspect: cost of assisted reproductive technology
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is the core step for three generations of IVF. According to different hospitals, the assisted reproductive technology part of the cost breakdown includes the following aspects:
1. Artificial insemination cost: Artificial insemination is a simple assisted reproductive technology, which can improve the chance of pregnancy by directly injecting sperm into women's uterus. Compared with other technologies, the cost of artificial insemination is relatively low.
2. In vitro fertilization (IVF) costs: IVF is to combine female eggs and male sperm in the laboratory, and then transplant the fertilized eggs into the female uterus. The in vitro fertilization part of the cost details includes the costs of egg collection, sperm acquisition, fertilization and culture, embryo transfer and other links.
3. Expense of embryo implantation treatment (ET): embryo implantation refers to the transfer of cultured embryos into a female uterus. The embryo implantation treatment part in the expense details includes the operation expense of embryo transfer and the related medical material expense.
The above costs are the main costs of assisted reproductive technology in the process of third-generation IVF.
Second aspect: cost of reproductive hormone drugs
In the process of assisted reproductive technology, a series of reproductive hormone drugs will be used to help patients control ovulation, promote ovarian function, etc., and improve the chance of pregnancy. The cost of reproductive hormone drugs mainly includes the following aspects:
1. Cost of ovulation promoting drugs: ovulation promoting drugs are drugs that help women ovulate, and the cost details include the purchase cost of these drugs.
2. Cost of growth hormone: growth hormone is a drug to promote ovarian function, which can improve the quality and quantity of eggs. The cost of growth hormone is included in the cost details.
3. Anticoagulant drug cost: In the process of egg collection surgery, in order to reduce the risk of coagulation, it is often necessary to use anticoagulant drugs. The cost details include the cost of anticoagulant drugs.
The above costs are the main costs of reproductive hormone drugs in the process of third-generation IVF.
Third aspect: cost of surgical instruments
A series of surgical instruments need to be used in the process of three generations of IVF, including egg taking instruments, injection instruments, embryo transfer instruments, etc. The cost of surgical instruments in the cost details includes the purchase cost of these instruments.
The cost of surgical instruments will vary from hospital to hospital. Generally, hospitals will calculate the cost according to the number and quality of instruments used.
Fourth aspect: surgical expenses
In the process of three generations of IVF, some operations are also involved, such as egg collection and embryo transfer. The operation expenses in the expense details mainly include the following aspects:

To sum up, the operating expenses in the expense breakdown of the third generation IVF mainly include the expenses of assisted reproductive technology, reproductive hormone drugs, surgical instruments and surgery expenses. These costs will vary depending on the hospital and personal conditions. Patients need to know the details of these costs in detail before choosing hospitals and carrying out third-generation IVF, so as to make reasonable decisions.
