Question Hi,
Ganglion Cyst has started growing on my left hand joint.I am not feeling any pain but please suggest if any medicine can be taken and without operation it can be cured?
Answer Hi Dash and thanks for writing,
If a ganglion cyst is symptomatic, it can be managed by aspiration or excision. Aspiration of the cyst is the simpler of the two procedures, but cysts recur in approximately 50% of cases. With surgery, the recurrence rate is reduced to only 5 to 10% if it is fully taken out, and complications rarely develop. Recurrence rates are lower when the hand or finger is immobilized for 1 to 2 weeks.
