First off, OHSS is a condition caused by hormone medications that cause the ovaries to swell and fill with fluid. OHSS can be life threatening if not addressed immediately. In order to help draw the fluid out of the ovaries and prevent accumulation in your abdomen, electrolyte balance is key. Focusing on including more sodium rich foods is often recommended post retrieval. A way to minimize the effects of OHSS involves consuming sodium rich foods for a few days post retrieval to help draw the extra fluid out of your ovaries. While there are no specific recommendations for the amount of sodium to consume, a general rule of thumb I tell my clients is to focus on adding a little extra salt to their meals, or having a few high sodium snacks like salted mixed nuts, whole grain pretzels or a little nitrite-free turkey jerky.
