Summary
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a severe complication of ovulation induction. Early recognition of risk factors and judicious prevention are crucial for managing this frequent clinical problem.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Endocrinology
- Gynecology
- Pharmacology
Context:
- Medically assisted reproduction programs are increasing globally.
- Ovulation induction drugs are widely used.
- Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a significant iatrogenic complication.
Purpose:
- To provide an overview of the current world literature on OHSS.
- To highlight the importance of prevention and management strategies.
- To emphasize the need for understanding OHSS pathophysiology.
Summary:
- OHSS is the most severe iatrogenic complication of ovarian stimulation.
- Its pathophysiology remains poorly understood, necessitating clinical vigilance.
- Accurate prevention, prediction, and active management are essential responsibilities for clinicians.
Impact:
- Reducing the incidence and severity of OHSS.
- Improving patient safety in fertility treatments.
- Guiding clinical practice for OHSS prevention and management.
