Teratozoospermia can occur from birth, which could be due to a genetic cause, or acquired over time due to hormonal alterations or traumatisms. Depending on the cause, it will be possible to apply a personalized treatment that reverses this situation. In congenital cases of teratozoospermia it is very difficult to obtain a cure. The same happens when these alterations are the result of a cancer treatment. In severe cases of teratozoospermia, it will be necessary to resort to assisted reproduction to be able to be parents. However, when the degree of teratospermia is milder, there are some pharmacological or natural treatments that can help restore sperm quality.

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is a very feared complication, which can occur when an ovulation induction treatment is made from exogenous hormones. In its most severe form (which only occurs in 0.5 to 5% of cases) there is a marked increase in the size of the ovary with ascites, pleural distension, hemoconcentration and an electrolyte imbalance. Occasionally there have been symptoms such as respiratory distress, vascular thrombosis, cerebral infarction, acute myocardial infarction, multisystemic failure and even death. The incidence of this type of syndromes spontaneously, without receiving exogenous medication, in a pregnancy conceived naturally is extremely rare. Next, we will describe a clinical case of OHS in a natural pregnancy and what the consequences were. Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article. Index 1.

Below you have an index with all the points that we will discuss in this article. Index 1. Causes 2. Symptoms 3.

Clots in the legs only cause pain, but they can be fatal if they go up into the lungs. There is the idea that, once they have given birth, they no longer have to worry about clots. But the truth is that the risk persists for some time after delivery. The study collected data on 1.7 million new mothers in California. Of those,...
