Patient's question:
Recently, I've been taking care of the child alone, and the child doesn't like being held as much. Over the past two days, I've been feeling some pain in my wrists. Tonight, I accidentally noticed hard, raised bumps on both my wrists. I want to know how serious it is. Should I go to the hospital for a thorough check-up? Is there anything I need to pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, consider ganglion cyst. The treatment methods include:1. Superficial cysts can be ruptured by external force or pierced with a needle, allowing them to naturally resolve and heal. However, after the cyst is ruptured, the patient needs to perform extensive local massage to prevent recurrence.
2. Under local anesthesia, a thick needle is used to pierce the cyst, extracting as much jelly-like substance as possible. Then, anesthetizing alcohol or hormone drugs are applied, the cyst is drained, and it is re-bandaged. This is done once a week for two to three sessions.
3. Surgical treatment. Rest during the day, avoid overexertion, and refrain from carrying children excessively.
