Are there risks associated with the MRgFUS procedure?
As with any medical procedure, there are risks involved with the MRgFUS treatment. These risks include skin burns, back or leg pain, abdominal cramping, nausea, fever, vaginal discharge, and urinary tract infection. The incidence of these complications is relatively low. There is a risk that the treatment may not be or that the treatment may be successful in reducing the symptoms from the fibroids that are treated, but at a later time, more fibroids may grow and require treatment. This is true for all fibroid treatment alternatives, except hysterectomy.
