thank you mam. can you tell me the cost of hormonal as well? because I saw a hospital state 2000 for normal copper t and 4000 for hormonal (with less bleeding)
Hi Mam, to be more elaborate about the other question - was just wondering why it is much expensive than the usual 500 rs for the simple copper T. My OBGYN suggests to go for hormonal since it would cause less bleeding. Can you provide me an opinion on the same pls?

Brief Answer:
Cost depends on many variables
Detailed Answer:
Actually 500 is just the cost of copper T rest are insertion charges and hospital consumables which cost the hospital.
And as far as hormonal is concerned it involves anaesthesia to insert the device so anaesthetist and anaesthesia drug and consumables also add to the cost.
Ysual cost of hormonal IUCD is 4000-6000 depending on state government charges and vendor charges.
