There will always be many couples who cannot have children normally in any era. With the development of science and technology, many infertile couples have obtained their desired children through artificial insemination, bringing a lot of happiness and joy to their families. So how much does it cost to have an artificial insemination? What are the methods of artificial insemination?
1、 How much does artificial insemination cost
Artificial insemination is a relatively complex treatment, which simply refers to the use of non sexual methods to place sperm into the female reproductive tract, allowing it to naturally combine with egg cells and achieve pregnancy. Suitable for male oligospermia, asthenozoospermia, sexual dysfunction, genital abnormalities, female cervical factors, reproductive tract abnormalities, immunological infertility, unexplained infertility, and ineffective six-month simple ovulation induction treatment. Prices may vary among different hospitals, but the general cost is around 20000 yuan. Before doing it, it is necessary to check the patency of the female fallopian tubes, the level of endocrine hormones, and the semen of the male. After all required examinations are normal, the female partner should undergo ovulation induction treatment to monitor mature follicles before artificial insemination can be performed. Fertilization can be completed on the same day and does not require hospitalization. There is generally no pain or life-threatening situation during operation. I suggest that you bring both parties' ID cards, marriage certificates, and birth permits, and refrain from sexual activity for 5 days on the third day of menstruation to the hospital for treatment.
2、 How many types of artificial insemination are there
Artificial insemination can be divided into three types based on the source of semen used during fertilization:
(1) Artificial insemination with husband's semen (AIH): It is the process of using one's own husband's semen for artificial insemination. Semen can be used directly or processed to improve its quality before use;
(2) Artificial insemination with donor sperm (AID): refers to the use of semen provided by other men for artificial insemination. These donors must have no genetic or infectious diseases, good intelligence, physical conditions, and good semen quality;
(3) Mixed sperm artificial insemination: artificial insemination is performed by mixing the semen of the donor and the husband. In fact, this method has no advantages. On the contrary, harmful factors in the semen of infertile husbands can actually reduce the quality of semen from healthy donors. Infertile couples who require the use of this method should have a lucky mentality (especially those with oligospermia), believing that their sperm may be successful in artificial insemination, and currently do not advocate the use of this method.
According to different methods of using semen, it can be divided into two types:
(1) Frozen sperm artificial insemination: refers to the process of storing semen at ultra-low temperatures and taking it out and rewarming it as needed before use. The advantage of this method is that a single semen can be divided into several portions and used in multiple times, or a small amount of sperm from severe oligozoospermia can be collected multiple times and used at once. The disadvantage is that frozen sperm are more or less always damaged, so the success rate of fertilization is not as high as fresh ones;
(2) Fresh sperm artificial insemination: The semen to be obtained is used within 1 hour. The success rate of fertilization is slightly higher than that of frozen sperm, but due to factors such as time, location, and environment, the source and confidentiality are extremely inconvenient.
Through the introduction in this article, it can be known that the cost of artificial insemination is about 20000 yuan. Different hospitals and fertilization methods have certain differences in cost, but generally speaking, the cost of one artificial insemination is about 20000 yuan. If you want artificial insemination, you can refer to this price.
