Abstract

BACKGROUND: Severe vulvar edema is a rare entity occurring with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. This edema can be incapacitating; causing pain and limited patient mobility. With the usual conservative approach, vulvar edema can take several days to resolve. AIM: The aim of this case report is to describe the use of local myrrh for the management of severe vulvar edema associated with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. CASE PRESENTATION: 29-year-old female with severe vulvar edema associated with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. CONCLUSION: Local myrrh application for severe vulvar edema in ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome resulted in substantial improvement, and with further studies, myrrh could be used as an option for the management of vulvar edema.
