Treatment of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome in Pregnancy

When ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) occurs in a patient who is pregnant, specific evidence-based management steps are required to reduce the risks associated with this combination.

Clinical Scenario

This protocol addresses ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in the setting of confirmed pregnancy. The coexistence of OHSS and pregnancy introduces management priorities that are distinct from OHSS in the non-pregnant patient.

Management Approach

First-line care includes a targeted thromboprophylaxis strategy timed to the early weeks of pregnancy. The complete regimen — including agent selection, clinical decision pathway, and full protocol detail — is available in the structured evidence-based protocol below.
