Drug cost
Medical abortion requires the use of two drugs: mifepristone and low-dose misoprostol. Drugs obtained from supermarkets and other channels are not safe and effective. If medical abortion needs to be performed in a regular hospital, the drug price is relatively high. Currently, the relatively cheaper mifepristone on the market is about 200 yuan, and the price of small-dose misoprostol is about 500 yuan, but the specific price also depends on market changes and different origins and suppliers. Drug costs account for an important part of the entire medical abortion cost, accounting for about 1/3 of the total cost.
Diagnosis and treatment costs
The cost of diagnosis and treatment includes the diagnosis, consultation and advice of the gynecologist, as well as the cost of the nurse who performs the medical abortion. In addition, there are additional costs such as hospitalization if complications occur. Medical abortion needs to be performed in a regular hospital. Strict operating procedures, reliable equipment and professional technology all require financial investment. Diagnosis and treatment fees are used to pay for the services of medical institutions and the costs of various examinations, which are also relatively expensive. Depending on the region, doctor\’s identity, hospital, etc., the price of medical abortion nationwide ranges from a few hundred yuan to thousands of yuan, accounting for about 1/3 of the entire medical abortion cost.
Inspection fee
Before medical abortion, a series of examinations are required to determine whether the patient is suitable for medical abortion. The examinations mainly include B-ultrasound, routine blood tests, liver function tests and other special examinations. The examination fee accounts for an important part of the entire medical abortion cost, accounting for about 1/6 of the total cost. Generally, a complete set of examinations costs several hundred to several thousand yuan, and this cost may vary depending on the region and different hospitals.
Medicine refill costs
In some special cases, it may be necessary to take some antibiotics and other drugs to prevent possible infections and other problems. The cost of refilling medicine appears after medical abortion, and generally accounts for less than 1/10 of the total cost of medical abortion. Therefore, the cost of refilling medicine is generally relatively low, usually only a few dozen yuan.
