How to treat ganglion cyst to eradicate it

Ganglion cysts are quite common in daily life. They are cystic masses near the joints. Teenagers and women are the most common groups. The more common ones are ganglion cysts on the dorsum of the foot and the wrist. Patients should receive good treatment and pay more attention to health care in daily life. If cyst accumulation occurs, go to the hospital to have it extracted in time, and pay attention to keeping warm.

How to treat ganglion cyst to get rid of it

1. Pay attention to protecting the wrist joints and small joints of the feet to avoid strain. Especially for white-collar workers who work in offices and use computers frequently, they should always pay attention to the combination of work and rest and relax their wrists more often to avoid long-term chronic injuries that may increase the synovial fluid in the synovial cavity and form cysts.

2. The cyst of the tendon ganglion cyst is filled with liquid, and a transparent jelly-like substance can be extracted with a needle. Therefore, you can apply pressure to squeeze the cyst and let it heal on its own. This method is relatively simple, but the cure is not very effective and recurrence often occurs.

3. Bend your wrist or foot toward the opposite side where the cyst grows. For example, if the cyst grows on the back of the wrist, bend your palm downward so that the skin on the surface of the cyst becomes tight, and the cyst wall also becomes tense. Use your fingers to push the cyst left and right for a few minutes to remove the adhesions with the surrounding area. Then use your thumb to push the cyst to one side and squeeze it. When you hear a sound, it means the cyst has ruptured. At this time, let the patient frequently massage the area where the cyst previously existed to prevent recurrence.

4. Some cysts do not have a strong sense of fluctuation and are relatively hard in texture. They may not be burst by simply squeezing them with your fingers. At this time, you can try another method. First, disinfect the skin outside the cyst, and then pierce the cyst with a small needle. At this time, you should feel whether there is a sense of emptiness when penetrating the cyst wall. When the puncture is successful, pull out the needle and use your thumb to squeeze out the contents of the cyst. Massage again to make the cyst disappear.

5. In addition to the massage method, after discharging the contents of the cyst, you can also inject hormone drugs into the cyst cavity. Commonly used ones are prednisolone acetate, and then apply pressure with a bandage. Under the effect of drugs and bandages, the cyst walls will adhere to each other and then disappear.

6. For cysts that cannot be treated with massage, puncture, or drug injection, or cysts that recur multiple times, since non-surgical treatment is ineffective, cystectomy is the only option.

Treating Ganglion Cysts with Acupuncture

Fast effect, no pain, no side effects, no scars. The specific method is: routine local disinfection of the cyst, use the lifting needling method to pierce the center, and use the surrounding needling method to pierce one needle each around the base of the cyst. The needle tip is inserted into the center of the cyst until the cyst wall is pierced. Leave the needle in for 30 minutes and illuminate the puncture site with a magic lamp until the skin feels slightly warm but not hot. When removing the needle, swing the needle back and forth and left and right 3 to 5 times to remove the needle. After removing the needle, the doctor will massage the local area with the tip of his thumb, and the cyst will gradually disappear.
