Causes of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

I believe everyone knows the importance of ovaries to female friends. Female friends must pay attention to taking good care of their ovaries in daily life. However, we cannot see or touch the ovaries, so it is easy to have some diseases. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a type of ovarian disease. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is prone to cause some complications, so we must find out the cause of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the main complications of in vitro fertilization. It is an overreaction of the human body to ovulation-inducing drugs, characterized by the development of multiple follicles in both ovaries, ovarian enlargement, abnormal capillary permeability, and extravasation of abnormal body fluids and proteins into the third space of the human body, causing a series of clinical symptoms. The main clinical manifestations of OHSS are ovarian cystic enlargement, increased capillary permeability, and fluid accumulation in the interstitial space, causing peritoneal effusion, pleural effusion, and local or systemic edema. In recent years, the incidence of OHSS has been on the rise, attracting more and more attention from clinical medical workers.

OHSS can occur after the follicles are stimulated in various ways. The main risk factors associated with OHSS are:

1. The ovaries are highly sensitive to ovulation-inducing drugs (hypersensitive ovaries): common in patients with polycystic ovaries and young (age <35 years old) and thin people.

2. Use HCG to promote ovulation or maintain the corpus luteum of pregnancy.

3. Endogenous HCG secretion in early pregnancy.

4. Patients with a history of OHSS.
