Are ganglion cysts serious and what is a ganglion cyst?

It's not very serious, don't worry.

Ganglion cyst** principle:

1.Ganglion cysts can resolve on their own, but over a longer period of time.

2.Superficial cysts can be crushed, broken, squeezed or punctured with a needle to break the cyst wall by external force, and wait for it to be absorbed by itself.

3.Under local anesthesia, puncture with a thick needle, try to extract as much colloidal fluid as possible, inject corticosteroids, and apply pressure bandaging.

4.It is best to apply gold without changing the massage cream to completely prevent the cyst from enlarging and completely restore the health of the cyst.

5.Surgery ** but not easy **.

Ganglion cysts can be cured and are not as scary as imagined.

1. Surgery**.

After local anesthesia, the cyst on the affected part of the instep is removed.

Features: Long recovery period, generally takes more than a month to normal activities.

2. Puncture and aspiration.

After local anesthesia, a thicker needle is used to puncture, the capsule fluid is withdrawn, adrenocorticotropic hormone or hyaluronidase is injected, and then compression is added.

Features: Hormone drugs will have *** on the body.

3. Acupuncture Use acupuncture needles to penetrate the cyst wall, and after the needle is removed, use the instep of the foot to press and rub the cyst to squeeze out the cyst fluid to flatten and heal.

Features:**Not thorough, easy**.

4. Recommendation**.

The massage cream is directly rubbed on the corresponding part of the tendon sheath to promote blood circulation and reduce swelling, promote microcirculation, and effectively solve the problem of ganglion cyst.

Ganglion cysts are generally stable, and one cyst on the back of my right palm is the result of trauma and has been stable for the first time in three years. It only affects the aesthetics and does not hinder the functionality.

**It is unclear that it is more common in the dorsum of the wrist and dorsum of the foot, and may be associated with chronic trauma. It can be caused by injury, overstrain (especially in the hands and fingers), osteoarthritis, some systemic immune diseases, and even infection. It can be triggered or aggravated by occupations that require long-term repetitive joint strain, such as typists, cargo handlers, or industries that require long periods of computer operation.

Women and diabetic patients are more likely to suffer from this disease, patients will feel joint pain, usually the feeling of joint stiffness is most obvious after getting up, and the symptoms will not be significantly relieved with frequent activities, the affected joints are swollen, and even the joint mobility disorder is snapped.

2. Clinical manifestations.

1.General symptoms.

Ganglion cysts can occur at any age, are more common in young and middle-aged people, and are more common in women than men. Cysts grow slowly, are round, and are generally no more than 2 cm in diameter. There are also sudden discoverers.

A few may recede on their own, or they may grow back. In some cases, there is no discomfort other than a local mass, and sometimes mild tenderness. In most cases, there is local soreness or discomfort that interferes with activity.

2.Local symptoms.

During the examination, a round mass with a smooth shape and clear boundary can be felt, and the surface can be pushed without adhesion. Most cysts are tense, the masses are tough, and a few are soft, but they all have cysts**. The base of the cyst is fixed and there is little movement.

Ultrasonography can help determine the nature of the mass.

1) Ganglion cyst of the wrist.

It occurs mostly on the dorsal side of the wrist and rarely on the volar side. The best site of occurrence is the dorsal capsule of the wrist on the radial side of the extensor tendon, followed by between the flexor carpi radialis tendon and the abductor pollicis longus tendon. Ganglion cysts on the volar side of the wrist are sometimes distinguished from radial artery aneurysms and the radial artery, cephalic vein, and superficial branches of the radial nerve should be protected when the cyst is removed.

Cysts can also develop in the flexor digital tendon sheath in the carpal tunnel, compressing the median nerve and inducing carpal tunnel syndrome. A few ganglion cysts can occur on the flexor tendon sheath of the fingers distal to the metacarpophalangeal joint, the size of a grain of rice, and as hard as cartilage.

2) Ganglion cyst of the foot and ankle.

There are 8 tendon sheaths in the ankle: 3 anterior (anterior tibialis tendon, extensor pollicis longus, and extensor digitorum longus), 3 medial (posterior tibialis tendon, flexor pollicis longus tendon, and flexor toelongus tendon), 1 lateral (peroneal longus and brevis tendon), and 1 posterior (Achilles tendon). Dorsalis pedis ganglion cysts are more common, and most of them originate from the tendon sheath of the extensor digitorum longus on the lateral aspect of the dorsalis pedis artery.

Ganglion cysts in the tarsal ducts, which can compress the tibial nerve, are one of the causes of tarsal tunnel syndrome. Based on the medical history, general and local symptoms of clinical manifestations, ultrasonography can generally establish the diagnosis.

Ganglion cyst is caused by tenosynovitis, and tenosynovitis is caused by exertion, most of which are caused by repeated actions for a long time. If necessary, it can be closed, if it is closed, it can only temporarily relieve the symptoms, you need to pay attention to rest, avoid local chronic strain, and in severe cases, surgical removal of ganglion cyst.

Recently, I am practicing dance, the dance teacher is more strict, the wrist practice is very strong, I practiced for about a week, the wrist gradually appeared a small drum bag, a look is a ganglion cyst, the dance teacher is also worried, to the compress (Fang Duo good paste), about a week of rest, the small drum bag slowly went down. In the future, when contacting, it is necessary to be gradual and combine work and rest.
