I read the recent publication on ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) with great interest.(1) Rajesh et al concluded that “gonadotropin doses at stimulation should start at 150 iu or less in women below 35 years of age, with a step-up of 37.5 iu, as necessary.(1)” There are some points to note about this research. First, as a retrospective study, it might not be possible to control the conf...

BACKGROUND Although some studies have reported a potential connection between ovulation induction therapy (OIT) and malignant ovarian diseases, the results have been inconclusive. In the present study, we sought to determine whether women undergoing OIT at our in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinic, especially those with severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and suspicious cytologic find...

ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) is a unique iatrogenic complication of controlled ovarian stimulation (coh)/in vitro fertilization (ivf) in reproductive endocrinology occurring during the luteal phase or early pregnancy. it can have a serious impact on the patient�s health. with the expansion of the assisted reproductive techniques (art) from 1978, the incidence of ohss is increasing w...

BACKGROUND Ovarian stimulation in IVF cycle results in luteal supraphysiological steroid concentrations especially for high response patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of ovarian steroid hormone suppression in luteal phase after oocyte retrieval for preventing severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in high-risk patients with embryo cryopreservation. METHODS ...

background: coasting is the most common method used in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) acting through vascular endothelial growth factor (vegf) reduction. however, the pregnancy rate is reported to fall with coasting when it takes more than three days. recently lowdose cabergoline, a selective d2 dopamine receptor agonist has been proven to selectively reduce vascular...

Ovarian hyperstimulation dyndrome(OHSS) is one of the most serious complications of ovulation indution in infertile women particularly in poly cystic ovare (PCO).in recent years,in association with the increasing frequency of assisted reproductive technology(ART) usage and significant improvements in the treatment of infertility,this iatrogenic phenomenon is more prevalent.the aim of this clini...

BACKGROUND Since severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a potentially life-threatening complication of assisted reproduction, the focus of attention in such cases is placed firmly upon the health of the patient, with the endeavour to achieve a pregnancy being considered of secondary importance. The aim of this study was to focus on the pregnancy rate and pregnancy outcome in IVF pat...

BACKGROUND Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an important and dangerous aspect of assisted reproduction techniques. Although elective cryopreservation of all embryos can prevent pregnancy-induced late OHSS, it cannot prevent early OHSS, which is induced by hCG administration. METHODS We undertook this trial to assess the efficacy with which the combined oral administration of angiot...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of ovarian stimulation on the outcome of intrauterine insemination (IUI). DESIGN Retrospective analysis. SETTING A single university-based centre. POPULATION A total of 5109 couples with 8893 cycles. METHODS The outcome of IUI with different protocols for ovarian stimulation was examined. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The live birth rate (LBR), twin pregnancy ...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a rare and serious complication of hormonal treatment for induction of ovulation. Haemoconcentration owing to the large fluid shift from the intravascular to the peritoneal cavity resulting in increased blood viscosity that can lead to arterial and venous occlusion. Thromboembolic stroke, cerebral venous thrombosis and systemic arteriovenous thrombosi...
