This article discusses a 39-year-old pregnant woman who has ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome(OHSS) after artificial reproductive technology, such as asthma, dizziness, hydrothorax, ascites, abdominal fullness, leg pitting edema, dysuria, and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine diagnosed it as water overflowing due to yang deficiency, and accumulated to phlegm-rheum.
