What causes a hard lump on the back of my hand?

The role of hands is so important. Hands can do so many things, they can make many tools, they can also cook, they are also needed for dressing. There are also many idioms related to hands, such as "miracle hands bringing back youth", "can't let go", "dexterous" and so on. I don't know what's going on. There is a big, hard lump on the back of my hand for no apparent reason. What's going on? What should I do? Now let me give you a detailed introduction.

Considering it might be a cyst. Treatment methods include oral medication and surgical treatment. Oral medication, Xiaojin tablets, and Guizhi Fuling pills are recommended. If they are ineffective, surgical treatment must be performed.

It is recommended to go to the hospital for a color ultrasound and, if necessary, a pathological examination to determine the cause of the disease. See what the doctor says, and then receive scientific and standardized treatment accordingly.

Hello, friend. This disease usually occurs in teenagers or middle-aged people. Ganglion cyst is a cyst that occurs near joints and tendon sheaths. Clinically, cysts on the dorsal side of the wrist and ankle joints are the most common. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it wrist knot tendons, tendon gathering, etc. A ganglion cyst is a cystic tumor that occurs in the tendon sheath of a joint. It is a disease caused by the degeneration of the connective tissue around the joint capsule. It contains colorless, transparent, orange or light yellow thick mucus, and is more common on the back of the wrist and the back of the foot. Most patients are young and middle-aged, and more often women.

The cause of the disease is still unclear. It often occurs on the dorsum of the wrist and foot, and may be related to chronic trauma. It may be caused by injury, overstrain (especially in the hands and fingers), osteoarthritis, some systemic immune diseases, or even infection. Some occupations that require long-term repetitive strain on joints, such as typists, cargo handlers, or industries that require long-term computer operation, can cause or aggravate this disease. Common affected areas include the wrists, fingers, shoulders, etc. Women and diabetic patients are more susceptible to this disease. Patients will feel joint pain, and the feeling of morning joint stiffness is usually most obvious after getting up. The symptoms will not be significantly relieved with frequent activities. The affected joints will swell and even affect joint movement.

diagnosis

The diagnosis can usually be established based on the medical history, general and local symptoms of clinical manifestations, and B-ultrasound examination.

treat

The treatment of ganglion cyst is to squeeze or hammer it to rupture the ganglion cyst and gradually absorb it on its own, but it may recur after treatment. Those that are connected to the joint cavity are not easy to rupture. Alternatively, puncture can be used to extract the cyst fluid and inject adrenal cortical hormone or hyaluronidase, which has a certain therapeutic effect. When other treatment methods are ineffective, ganglion cysts can be surgically removed. After surgery, avoid strenuous activities of the affected joint.

Treatment principles: Ganglion cysts can sometimes be squeezed and ruptured and heal themselves. There are many clinical treatments, but the recurrence rate is high.

1. Ganglion cysts can disappear on their own, but it will take a long time.

2. Superficial cysts can be crushed, broken, squeezed with external force or the cyst wall can be punctured with a needle and wait for it to be absorbed on its own. It can be cured, but it is prone to recurrence.

3. Non-surgical treatment: Usually, after the contents of the cyst are discharged, 0.5 ml of prednisolone acetate is injected into the cyst, and then a pressure bandage is applied. This method is simple, less painful, and has a low recurrence rate.

4. Surgical treatment: Finger ganglion cysts are generally small and difficult to puncture; ganglion cysts that recur multiple times in other parts of the body can be surgically removed. The cyst should be completely removed during the operation. If it occurs in the tendon sheath, part of the connected tendon sheath should be removed at the same time. If it is a synovial herniation of the joint capsule, it should be ligated and removed at the root to reduce the chance of recurrence.

Patients with ganglion cysts should pay attention to their diet, try to eat less or no irritating food, and drink more millet porridge and red bean porridge. I would like to recommend a recipe to everyone. You can stir-fry rooster with ginger, but remember not to add salt. If you think the taste is not good enough, you can add a little cooking wine. It will be good after eating it two or three times. You can eat it once a week.
