Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome: Prevention, Complications, and Treatment (Original PDF from Publisher)

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication of ovarian stimulation in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). It is triggered solely by human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), used for final oocyte maturation (early OHSS), or by endogenous hCG produced by the implanted blastocyst (late OHSS). Although its incidence may have decreased due to advances in ovarian stimulation protocols, OHSS remains a significant concern in the context of rising global ART cycles. This text, authored by eminent international experts, comprehensively explores OHSS, with a focus on prevention, complications, and treatment strategies, incorporating the latest scientific advances.
