Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is a condition that can
occur in women undergoing in vitro fertilization, after having
follicle stimulation hormone (FSH) injections to stimulate egg
growth and maturation. Some patients respond excessively to the
drug and dose given. If large numbers of eggs mature, the high
hormone levels combined with the increased size of the ovaries, can
cause extreme, and sometimes lethal, side effects. The
pathophysiology, prevention and management of this syndrome have
been revolutionized over the past decade and it is important for
reproductive practitioners and infertility specialists to
understand the latest findings about this potentially deadly
condition. The author reviews in depth the important
classification, epidemiology, pathophysiology, complications and
prediction, prevention and treatment options for this pathology.
This book is intended for infertility specialists, reproductive
medicine specialists and assisted reproduction specialists.
