Is lower back pain during ovulation induction a sign of ovarian hyperstimulation?

Lower back pain during ovulation induction may be due to ovarian hyperstimulation. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Ovulation induction usually refers to the use of ovulation-stimulating medications to promote follicular development and ovulation. After using these medications, the body's natural ovarian function is disrupted. Under the influence of the drugs, the ovaries undergo reactive changes, leading to ovarian enlargement and dilation. This can exert pressure on surrounding tissues and nerves, causing discomfort such as lower back pain, backache, or chest tightness. Other possible symptoms include abdominal bloating, nausea, and breast tenderness.

If lower back pain persists and becomes unbearable, it may indicate the presence of ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdomen). In such cases, prompt medical attention is necessary to complete relevant examinations, and appropriate treatment should be determined based on the results.
