Ganglion cysts are benign fluid-filled lumps that form typically near a joint or the covering of tendons. Commonly found on the wrists, hands, ankles, and feet, these cysts generally pose no serious health problem unless they create discomfort or limit movement. The exact cause remains unclear, but factors such as overuse, joint or tendon injuries, or trauma can contribute to their formation. Women aged 20-50 years are at a higher risk of developing ganglion cysts often result from tissue leakage or bulging post-injury.
In Bangalore city life can be physically strenuous due to repetitive manual tasks that can increase the risk of developing ganglion cysts. Fortunately, Bangalore is home to several competent Ganglion Cyst Doctors and Ganglion Cyst Specialists who can help manage this condition effectively.
Ganglion cyst specialists categorise these based on their size and location:
Wrist Ganglion Cysts: These occur on the front or back of the wrist.
Hand or Finger Ganglion Cysts: These usually grow near the joints or tendons of the hands or fingers.
Foot or Ankle Ganglion Cysts: These are often found around the joints or tendons in the feet or ankles.
Ganglion cysts are usually identified by the following symptoms:
The presence of a visible lump that changes the size
A sense of discomfort or pain if the cyst presses against a nerve
Tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness in affected areas
Impaired joint movement due to a large cyst
Soft tissue lump doctors employ the following diagnostic tools:
Physical Examination: Doctors may palpate the lump to check for mobility, shape, and size.
Light Penetration: A light will be shone through the cyst (transillumination) to determine if it's solid or filled with fluid.
Imaging Tests: Ultrasound or MRI scans may be used to distinguish the cyst from other types of growths.
Ganglion cysts can often disappear on their own, but treatment may be needed if they cause discomfort. At Apollo Hospitals Bangalore, an array of treatments are available, such as:
Observation: If the cyst is not causing discomfort, doctors may choose to monitor it over time.
Aspiration: This procedure involves draining the fluid from the cyst with a needle, performed by trained Ganglion Cyst Removal Surgeons.
Surgery: If the cyst is painful, affects mobility, or causes numbness and tingling, surgical removal may be recommended. The operation can be done using arthroscopic techniques or traditional open surgery.
