[Clomiphene, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and pregnancy]
Abstract:
In case of an ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome surgical treatment causes the regress of symptoms much faster than pharmacotherapy--during the resection of an ovary the concentration of estrogenes in blood is effectively reduced. Frequent use of ovulation inductors (Clomiphene Gonadotrop(h)in) is accompanied by ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. It is characterized by the increase of sizes of ovaries; the formation of ascites and hydrothorax, by the thromboemboly of main blood vessels and etc. Clomiphene accelerates the maturation process of follicles, but contributes to the increase of concentration of oncomarker CA-125 in blood. This makes it difficult to verify the diagnosis of ovary cancer, particularly among pregnants. The case report of infertility treatment with Clomiphene is depicted. Woman became pregnant after three courses of infertility treatment, but pregnancy was complicated with cardiac and lung insufficiency; the suspicion of stage III ovarian cancer aroused. Serious threat to health of a woman resulted in prevention of pregnancy. Right side adnexectomy was conducted. Surgical treatment led to improvement and after four years the patient delivered a healthy child.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...
