INTRODUCTION Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome is a complication of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation during cycles of Assisted Medical Reproduction. The objective of this work was to analyze those cycles to achieve a better knowledge of this pathology, namely risk factors and strategies for prevention and treatment of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective a...

the objective of this study was to examine the correlation between both midfollicular fsh/lh ratio and number(s) of follicles with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). this was carried out in ivf unit at mirza kouchak khan hospital. to induce ovulation, pcos patients were stimulated with gonadotropines. fifty four pcos patients with norma...

failure to respond adequately to standard protocols and to recruit adequate follicles is called ‘poor response’. this results in decreased oocyte production, cycle cancellation and, overall, is associated with a significantly diminished probability of pregnancy. it has been shown that ovarian reserve tests, such as basal fsh, antimullarian hormone (amh), inhibin b, basal estradiol, antral folli...

Background Severe vulvar edema is a rare entity occurring with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. This edema can be incapacitating; causing pain and limited patient mobility. With the usual conservative approach, vulvar edema can take several days to resolve. Aim The aim of this case report is to describe the use of local myrrh for the management of severe vulvar edema associated with ovarian...

Isolated unilateral pleural effusion is uncommon presentation of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. The pathogenesis of this syndrome involves an increased permeability of ovarian capillaries and mesothelial vessels triggered by the release of vasoactive substances by the ovaries under human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation. Physicians should consider this potentially life-threatening diagnos...

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a serious complication of ovulation induction and has a diverse clinical spectrum from edema to thromboembolism. Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, one of the well known hypercoagulable states, can be also manifested as an arterial or venous thrombosis and recurrent spontaneous abortion. Sometimes a patient with antiphospholipid antibodies might not notice ...

Several case reports have indicated that a small subgroup of patients may develop ovarian hyperstimulation following the administration of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists (GnRHa) without gonadotropins. However, since only few such cases have been published, it is unclear what course to follow in subsequent cycles after ovarian hyperstimulation in the first cycle using only GnRHa. A 33-y...

In-vitro maturation is a technique used to perform assisted reproduction in women with high ovarian reserve, who are at risk for ovarian stimulation. With this technique occasionally 3-4 days of gonadotropins are planned to enlarge the follicles and aid in oocyte collection. Human choreinonic gonadotropin is also given to ease the collection. These few days of ovarian stimulation were felt to b...

background: the purpose of the study was to compare clinical pregnancy and delivery rates with fresh and frozen embryo transfer in patients admitted to shiraz- human assisted reproductive center with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss). methods: ohss patients randomly divided in two groups, group a (n=50) with fresh embryo transfer and group b (n=50) with frozen embryo transfer. we used vi...
