What Is the Treatment of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome?

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a serious complication that can arise during ovarian stimulation for assisted reproduction. Recognising and acting on high-risk situations early — at the stimulation phase — is essential to patient safety.

Clinical Approach

When standard preventive options are not available, the protocol involves a stimulation-management technique in which gonadotropin administration is temporarily withheld, used as part of a broader combined strategy to reduce OHSS risk.

The full protocol — including the complete combination strategy and the clinical decision criteria that guide it — is available in the structured regimen below.

However, when other more effective strategies are not available to reduce the risk of OHSS, coasting in combination with cabergoline and a freeze-only strategy may mitigate the risk.
