Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is a significant complication of fertility treatment, where the ovaries become enlarged if they are overstimulated, resulting in fluid leakage. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be classified as mild, moderate or severe. Symptoms vary dependent on severity but can include abdominal swelling, pain, nausea and vomiting, and shortness of breath. Treatment typically consists of monitoring initially, with active intervention if the condition progresses to a severe state, requiring hospitalisation. This study explored the acceptability and feasibility of outpatient paracentesis, and of gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonists, as early interventions for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
