ABSTRACT

The mild form includes weight gain, thirst, abdominal discomfort with bloating, and mild nausea. There are no clinical signs of dehydration or significant abdominal findings apart from some distension. Moderate OHSS is associated with more pronounced symptoms of nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension with pain, and dyspnea. The abdomen is distended but not tense and the ovaries may be palpable per abdomen with associated tenderness. Ascites may not be clinically demonstrable. No clinical evidence of fluid or electrolyte depletion is demonstrated.
