No one knows exactly what causes a ganglion cyst to develop. It grows out of a joint or the lining of a tendon, looking like a tiny water balloon on a stalk, and seems to occur when the tissue that surrounds a joint or a tendon bulges out of place.
How do you get rid of a ganglion?
Surgical procedures for ganglion cyst removal
Before surgery, your doctor may draw a line above the cyst to mark the incision location. During the surgery, your doctor numbs the treatment area and cuts along the line with a scalpel. The doctor then identifies the cyst and cuts it out along with its capsule or stalk.
How do you prevent ganglion cysts?
- Avoiding occupational hazards and activities that can lead to joint injuries.
- Quitting smoking (tobacco can damage to tendons and other soft tissues)
- Resting the wrists and fingers after long periods of exertion.
- Stretching the hands, wrists and finger joints regularly.
