Hello doctor,I am 37 years old. I have a ganglion cyst on the palm side of the wrist in right hand since three months. The cyst is solid. This cyst does not cause any pain since now. I have contacted with a surgeon, he has advised for surgery of this cyst. Is there anyway except surgery? Like medicine? Is this cyst malignant? If it is operated, can it be further developed in future?
Hello. Relax and do not worry. Yes, it is a ganglion cyst. It is very common and not malignant. It will not regress with medicines. It requires surgical removal as suggested by your doctor. Go ahead and get the surgery done. Recurrence chances are one percent. For more information consult a general surgeon online
