Summary

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, a risk of ovulation induction with gonadotropins, can be effectively managed. Treatment led to symptom resolution and reduced ovarian volume in all nine patients studied.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Gynecology

Background:

  • Exogenous gonadotropin administration for ovulation induction can lead to ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
  • Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of OHSS is crucial for effective treatment strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms of OHSS.
  • To suggest a treatment of choice for OHSS.
  • To report clinical experience with OHSS management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of pathophysiological mechanisms of OHSS.
  • Clinical case series of 9 patients with OHSS.
  • Treatment administration and patient monitoring.

Main Results:

  • All 9 patients improved within 6-19 days (mean 9.5 +/- 4.7 days) of treatment.

  • Patients were symptom-free at discharge and follow-up.
  • Echographic examination showed a significant reduction in ovarian volume.

    • Conclusions:

    • The discussed treatment approach is effective for managing OHSS.
    • Prompt treatment leads to rapid patient recovery and normalization of ovarian size.
