Are there risks to doing a release and can complications occur?

There are risks associated with each surgical procedure and complications can occur. The complication that can occur is a bleeding.

If an after-bleeding occurs after treatment, contact your provider immediately.

Check whether a clotting disorder can be a cause. Until the bleeding is stopped by the doctor, try to stop it with gauze or a cloth by pressing the wound for a few minutes. For a more extensive advice protocol see FAQ: What to do in case of a bleeding?
