Shanghai's assisted reproductive technology is at a leading level in Asia, with IVF success rates comparable to top international institutions, while costs are more advantageous, attracting many patients from Japan, South Korea, Russia, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Technology level of IVF in Shanghai
Multiple reproductive medicine centers in Shanghai have the qualifications and capabilities to perform first, second and third generation IVF technologies, including preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and embryo freezing, providing individualized plans for patients with different causes.
Success rates and costs
The clinical pregnancy rates of Shanghai's reproductive centers are comparable to leading international levels, with higher success rates for younger patients. A full cycle's cost is usually significantly lower than in Europe and the US, and also lower than some neighboring Asian countries. Specific costs vary with stimulation protocols, technology choices and individual conditions.
Treatment process
International patients generally need two visits to Shanghai: the first for examinations, ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval; after embryo culture and testing, the second visit for embryo transfer. The interval is about 2-3 months.
Points to note
It is advisable to choose a regulated reproductive center and prepare physical examination reports from the past six months. Legally, China allows eligible patients to receive assisted reproduction; specific policies can be consulted with medical advisors.
