What else can I help you with?
Are there other cysts other than ganglion in the foot?
I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist, and I personally know two people with cysts- one has a ganglion cyst on the side of her wrist and one has a ganglion cyst on the top of her hand. One can also get cysts in other places of the body (especially near joints), but I'm not sure if cysts in other areas are also called "ganglion cysts".
Is garlic good to get rid of a ganglion cyst?
No. Garlic has no effect whatsoever on ganglion cysts.
Is a ganglion dangerous?
Ganglions are typically not dangerous and are usually harmless. They are noncancerous lumps that form on or near joints or tendons in the body. However, if a ganglion causes pain, limits movement, or changes in size or shape, it's best to consult a healthcare professional for evaluation and treatment.
Can you get a ganglion cyst on the top of the foot?
Yes. My father had a golfball sized ganglion cyst on the top/outer side of his foot. It was eventually removed with surgery. The cyst itself was not painful, nor did it limit his movements in any way.
What alternatives to ganglion cyst removal exist?
Alternatives to aspiration and excision in the treatment of ganglion cysts include watchful waiting and resting the affected hand or foot
Can you get a ganglion on your back?
Yes, ganglion cysts can develop on the back, typically near the spine. These cysts are noncancerous lumps filled with fluid that can cause discomfort or be asymptomatic. Treatment may include rest, monitoring, or in some cases, aspiration or surgery.
If a ganglion cyst is left untreated will it become very bad and serious?
I have a ganglion cyst in my wrist. Ganglion cysts are not harmful at all- the liquid inside of them is not toxic and the cyst is usually flexible enough to fit around bones and veins around them (in fact, my vein actually created a dent in the cyst because the cyst developed under the vein; however, the cyst isn't strong enough to break or even move the vein). Ganglion cysts rarely hurt and never restrict movement. Left untreated, the only thing a cyst might do is grow and shrink, which is perfectly normal. A ganglion cyst won't become serious. The only reason one might want to get rid of cyst (whether by a doctor draining or performing surgery on it) is for purely cosmetic reasons.
What treatment exists for patients with a ganglion?
Steroids or local anesthetics may be injected into cysts that cause severe pain or other troublesome symptoms. Surgery performed in a hospital operating room or an outpatient facility, is the only treatment guaranteed to remove a ganglion.
Can ganglion be syringed?
Yes, ganglion cysts can be drained or syringed by a healthcare professional to reduce their size and alleviate symptoms. This procedure involves using a needle to aspirate the fluid from the cyst, and it may provide temporary relief. However, there is a risk of recurrence after drainage.
Who performs ganglion cyst removal?
Some say, "Hit it with a Bible!" However, ganglion cysts come for no reason, and they go for no reason! If it doesn't go of its own accord within a few days, see your doctor! My sons experience with the ganglion cyst...He had a small grouping of cysts on the outside of his pointer finger knuckle.We did much research, and happened upon a product called "Red Dessert Clay" He took one teaspoon twice a day, and voila! Within one week, the cysts were gone!I definitely reccommend this remedy. Sounds less intrusive than surgery, or even book therapy
What could cause small lumps on the knuckle?
This could be ganglion cysts. They are small bumps on various joints that come and go. They are not serious but could be painful when pressure is applied to them.
What type of cyst is contagious?
Contagious cysts are typically associated with infections, such as those caused by parasites or bacteria. An example is a cyst formed by the Echinococcus parasite, which can be transmitted through contact with contaminated soil or feces. Additionally, some skin cysts, like those related to viral infections (e.g., molluscum contagiosum), can spread through direct skin contact. However, most common cysts, like sebaceous cysts or ganglion cysts, are not contagious.
