Cost and process of IVF
IVF is a method of assisted pregnancy through in vitro fertilization, which is an important choice for some infertile couples. However, many people are concerned about the cost and process of IVF. This article will elaborate on the cost, hospital selection, surgical process and success rate.
1、 Fees
The cost of IVF includes several links, such as physical examination fee, medicine fee, operation fee, hospitalization fee, etc. The specific costs will vary depending on the region, hospital and individual conditions. Taking a well-known hospital as an example, the medical examination cost is about 1000 to 5000 yuan, the drug cost is about 5000 to 10000 yuan, and the operation cost is about 30000 to 80000 yuan. The hospitalization cost depends on the individual's physique and the operation. In general, the cost of IVF may be between 100000 yuan and 200000 yuan.
It should be noted that this is only a rough range of fees, and different hospitals may have different charging standards. In addition, the cost of IVF does not include the follow-up treatment costs that may be required after the baby is born, such as postpartum care and infant support costs.
2、 Hospital selection
The comprehensive strength and professional level of the hospital should be considered when selecting IVF hospitals. First, a formal public hospital or private medical institution needs to be selected to ensure that medical equipment and technology meet the requirements. Secondly, we can learn about the professional level and success rate of the hospital by consulting the hospital's qualification certificate or patient evaluation. It is recommended to choose a hospital with rich experience and good reputation.
For example, the obstetrics and gynecology department of the People's Hospital of a city has accumulated rich experience in IVF technology, and has first-class equipment and expert team, which is highly praised. When choosing a hospital, you can consult the doctor or others' suggestions to better choose a hospital suitable for you.
3、 Operation process
The operation process of IVF can be divided into the following steps:
1. Women receive medication: hormone drugs are taken to promote ovarian function and increase follicular development.
2. Egg collection: After drug treatment, mature eggs are taken out by painless surgery guided by ultrasound.
3. Sperm extraction: The man provides semen, or freezes semen when necessary, and then extracts sperm through laboratory processing.
4. In vitro fertilization of test tube babies: combine eggs and sperm in the laboratory to cultivate embryos.
5. Embryo transfer: transfer the cultured embryo to the uterus of a woman, waiting for embryo implantation.
4、 Success rate
The success rate of IVF is affected by many factors, such as patient's age, physical condition, hospital and doctor's experience level, etc. Generally speaking, young and healthy patients have a higher success rate. According to statistics, the success rate of a hospital in 2019 is about 50%.
However, even if the success rate is high, IVF is not always successful. It often takes several attempts to conceive successfully. Therefore, patients need to be psychologically prepared and keep good communication and cooperation with doctors.
Summary
By elaborating on the cost, hospital selection, operation process and success rate of IVF, we can understand that IVF is not just a simple operation, but a comprehensive treatment involving multiple links and factors. Before IVF, you need to consult a professional doctor to understand your physical condition and possible risks, and be prepared psychologically.
