Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a serious complication of assisted reproductive technology. Understanding its risk factors, prevention, and management is crucial for patient safety.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology

Background:

  • Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic complication of pharmacologic ovarian stimulation during assisted reproductive technology (ART).
  • OHSS is unpredictable and can range from mild to life-threatening, necessitating careful management strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To comprehensively review current literature on OHSS pathogenesis, risk factors, prevention, and therapy.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for the clinical management of OHSS.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review of existing research on OHSS.
  • Integration of clinical experience from a dedicated institutional practice.

Main Results:

  • Advances in understanding OHSS risk factors, pathophysiology, and prevention are ongoing.

  • The review synthesizes current knowledge to inform management protocols for OHSS.

    • Conclusions:

    • OHSS poses significant risks, including critical morbidity and mortality, in ART patients.
    • Healthcare providers must be knowledgeable about OHSS risk factors, prevention, staging, and treatment to ensure optimal patient outcomes.
