Which endocrine imbalance causes ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)?

💡 Explanation

Increased vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) increases permeability. This is driven by high hCG levels, which directly induces capillary leakage, therefore the plasma volume decreases rather than causing suppression of follicle growth because of hypoxia.
