How does the syndrome develop?
At the heart of the development of the syndrome of ovarian hyperstimulation is an increase in vascular permeability, which in turn leads to an active release of fluid in a large volume, which is very rich in proteins. In most cases, they are poured into the abdominal cavity, chest, resulting in the development of swelling of the tissues. As a result, there is a disruption in the functioning of various organs and systems: the kidneys, liver, heart, lungs, the work of the blood coagulation system is disrupted.
How to determine the presence of pathology by yourself?
Signs of ovarian hyperstimulation are quite numerous. In this case, the onset of the development of this syndrome, can be either gradual or acute, sudden. In the latter case, signs intensify in just a few hours. In most cases, the symptoms of the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome appear immediately after the puncture of the follicles. So most often women in this situation are concerned:
- dizziness, weakness;
- flickering flies before the eyes;
- breathing disorders;
- the appearance of dry cough, which only increases in lying position;
- abdominal pain, various nature and localization;
- retention of urination;
- increase in temperature;
- swelling of the legs and external genitalia;
- increased blood pressure;
- increase in the volume of the abdomen.
How is ovarian hyperstimulation treated?
An important role in the treatment of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is devoted to the prevention of this condition. When it develops, cupping occurs only on the 9-10th day after the puncture of the follicles. Also, individual centers that provide IVF practice practice the delayed transfer of the embryo into the uterine cavity, until the symptomatology completely disappears.
What are the effects of ovarian hyperstimulation?
Many women, even before IVF, are interested in what is dangerous for ovarian hyperstimulation, which is not uncommon in artificial insemination. The consequences of such a phenomenon as hyperstimulation of the ovaries often make themselves felt already on the 5th-6th day after the stimulation. Thus women complain of deterioration of state of health, excessive puffiness, an increase in the abdomen in volume.
But much more dangerous is the excessive accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity, which may require a puncture. In addition, because of the release of fluid there is a thickening of the blood, which is fraught with the formation of thrombi.
