Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is an exaggerated response to excess hormones.
It usually occurs in women taking injectable hormone medications to stimulate development of eggs in ovaries.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) causes the ovaries to swell and become painful.
What are the signs and symptoms of OHSS?
Women with OHSS have large number of growing follicles along with high estradiol levels.
- This leads to fluid leaking into abdomen (belly),
- Which can cause bloating, nausea, and swelling of the abdomen.
- When OHSS is severe, blood clots, shortness of breath, abdominal pain, dehydration, and vomiting are possible.
