Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, bloating significantly impacting your daily activities, or shortness of breath. These could be signs of severe OHSS.
Report any sudden weight gain exceeding 2 kg (4.4 lbs) in a 24-hour period. Rapid weight gain is a potential indicator of fluid retention associated with OHSS.
Don’t hesitate to call your doctor if you notice decreased urination or experience nausea and vomiting that prevents adequate hydration. Dehydration worsens OHSS.
Monitoring Your Symptoms at Home
Regularly monitor your weight and abdominal girth. Keep a record of your daily measurements. This information will assist your doctor in assessing your condition.
Pay close attention to your urine output. Decreased urination is a serious sign and requires immediate medical attention.
When to Seek Immediate Medical Care
Seek immediate medical care if you experience any of the following:
| Severe abdominal pain | Intense pain requiring immediate attention |
| Significant shortness of breath | Difficulty breathing or feeling breathless |
| Rapid weight gain (more than 2 kg in 24 hours) | Sudden increase in weight, indicating fluid retention. |
| Intense nausea and vomiting | Inability to keep down fluids, risking dehydration. |
| Decreased urination | Reduced or absent urination, indicating potential kidney issues |
