Introduction Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is the most significant short-term complication of pharmacological ovarian stimulation. Symptoms range from mild abdominal discomfort to rare complications such as renal failure, thromboembolism and respiratory distress syndrome. Currently, clinical practice typically involves monitoring patient until condition becomes severe, at which point they are admitted hospital, where drainage ascitic fluid (paracentesis) may take place....
