What Advice Should Women Receive About the Risk of OHSS?
C – Assisted conception units should provide women with written information about OHSS including risks, symptoms of OHSS, what action to take, and a 24-hour contact number with prompt access to a clinician with the necessary expertise in the diagnosis and management of OHSS. Women should be advised to keep this information with them at all times and show it if they seek medical help. All women undergoing ovarian stimulation should be considered at risk of OHSS and should be provided with clear face-to-face advice about the condition, backed up by written information. Women at higher risk of developing OHSS include those with polycystic ovaries, women under 30 years of age, use of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, development of multiple follicles during treatment, exposure to luteinizing hormone/human chorionic gonadotrophin (LH/hCG), and previous episodes of OHSS.
