Síndrome de hiperestimulación ovárica - Prevention

Nombres alternativos

SHO

Prevención:

Si usted está recibiendo inyecciones de medicamentos para la fertilidad, el médico la supervisará cuidadosamente con exámenes de sangre y ecografías pélvicas para asegurarse de que sus ovarios no estén demasiado activados.

Si su nivel de estrógenos se eleva demasiado o muy rápidamente mientras le están aplicando las inyecciones para la fertilidad, el riesgo de padecer el síndrome de hiperestimulación ovárica aumenta. Es posible que necesite tomar una dosis más baja de los medicamentos o suspender temporalmente el tratamiento.

A algunas mujeres se les puede suministrar una solución proteínica llamada albúmina para reducir las posibilidades de padecer este síndrome.
