Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in natural pregnancy

-

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.

According to the latest report of the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF), in 2016 were carried out 138,553 cycles of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and 36,463 cycles of artificial insemination (AI), which resulted in a total of 37,503 babies born . This represents an increase of 8% in the use of assisted reproduction techniques with respect to the previous year, which shows that more and more couples need help to have the opportunity to become parents. After a year of sexual intercourse without achieving pregnancy, a couple is considered to have sterility problems, so it is advisable to start doing diagnostic tests and determine the most appropriate assisted reproduction treatment in each case, as we will discuss throughout this post.
