Patient's question:
I've been divorced from my husband for several years and have been unable to get pregnant. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have infertility. I want to ask how much it generally costs for the treatment of female infertility?Doctor's answer:
Infertility is mainly divided into five causes, with four related to the female and one to the male. The general order of detailed examinations is to first examine the male, including a routine semen analysis, which costs around 100 yuan. If there are issues with the male, treatment should be initiated simultaneously. The four causes of female infertility primarily include ovulation disorders, tubal factors, immunological infertility, and anatomical factors. Each examination starts with the simplest tests, with overall costs ranging from hundreds to thousands of yuan. For example, examinations may include using fertility test strips, undergoing color Doppler ultrasound, measuring basal body temperature, etc. Tubal examinations may involve tubal irrigation or hysterosalpingography. Autoimmune examinations mainly involve blood tests, while anatomical examinations primarily use color Doppler ultrasound and hysteroscopy, among others. It is recommended to first undergo blood tests and color Doppler ultrasound, followed by tubal and hysteroscopic examinations.
