What is IVF treatment
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a common assisted reproductive technology, which aims to help couples who cannot conceive naturally due to physiological reasons to achieve healthy pregnancy. This process involves combining female eggs and male sperm in an in vitro laboratory, and then transplanting high-quality embryos into the female uterus in order to achieve pregnancy and eventually give birth to a healthy baby.
IVF treatment is generally applicable to the following diseases: fallopian tube obstruction, pelvic adhesion, endometriosis, male infertility, abnormal ovulation, low sperm vitality, etc. This technology has been widely used in the world, and the success rate and safety are also improving with the progress of science.
Cost of IVF treatment
The cost of IVF treatment varies by region, hospital and individual. Here are some common expenses:
1. Basic process costs: including ovarian stimulation drugs, egg collection and sperm extraction, in vitro fertilization and embryo culture. This part of the cost is usually an important cost in the treatment process.
2. Embryo transfer costs: including the selection of high-quality embryos and the operation costs of transferring them to the female uterus.
3. Drug costs: IVF treatment usually requires a variety of drugs, including ovarian stimulants, ovulation promoting drugs and pregnancy maintenance drugs. The cost of these drugs also needs to be included in the overall treatment cost.
In general, the cost of IVF treatment is relatively high, usually between tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan. The specific cost should be consulted with the hospital and assessed according to personal conditions.
Success rate of IVF treatment
The success rate of IVF treatment is usually affected by many factors, including age, physiological status, lifestyle, etc. The following factors may affect the success rate:
1. Age: The age of women is the key factor affecting the success rate of IVF treatment. The older you are, the lower your ovarian function and the lower your egg quality will be, thus reducing the possibility of a successful pregnancy.
2. Health status: Women with chronic diseases, uterine abnormalities or other unhealthy health conditions will usually face greater difficulties.
3. Lifestyle: smoking, drinking and unhealthy eating habits will reduce the success rate of IVF treatment.
Nevertheless, the global average success rate is about 40%. The success rate will continue to increase with the progress of medical technology, but please note that individual conditions may vary.
