Objective:
To investigate the clinical manifestations, pathogenesis and treatment of severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
Methods:
The clinical data of 20 OHSS patients were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
Severe OHSS occurred after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for superovulation. The major manifestations of OHSS included abdominal distension, nausea, ascites, hydrothorax, oliguria, concentrated blood, acid-base and electrolytes, disturbance, azotemia, thrombosis etc., which could be controlled by volume expansion with albumin, low-molecular-weight dextran, 6% Haes, abdominal and thoracic drainages or even early pregnancy termination.
Conclusion:
Preventive measure of OHSS is very important, and the patients must be treated timely and correctly once OHSS occurs.
