Article Synopsis
- High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive treatment for uterine fibroids, using targeted ultrasound pulses to create immediate tissue damage in a specific area.
- A systematic review of HIFU's safety found that while most patients experienced only mild side effects, about 38% reported lower abdominal pain, which typically resolved with pain relief medications.
- The study indicated that major complications were rare, and no fatalities were recorded, suggesting that HIFU is a generally safe option for treating fibroids compared to other methods.
