What is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)?

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an excessive response to taking the medicines (especially injectable gonadotropins) used to make follicles grow. Women with OHSS have a large number of growing follicles in their ovaries in conjunction with high estradiol levels. This leads to fluid leaking into the belly, which can cause bloating, nausea, and swelling of the abdomen.

Ultrasound exams to measure the ovaries and fluid in the abdomen, and blood tests, are routinely done.
