A ganglion cyst is usually painless, a noncancerous growth along the tendons or joints, commonly found in the wrists, hands, fingers, and feet. These cysts typically vary in size but significantly become apparent upon some form of joint activity, thus subsiding when the person rests.
GANGLION CYST CAUSES
The cause of ganglion cysts is not well understood. It is said that irritation, injury, or repetitive motion that causes stress on the joint capsule or tendon sheath could lead to the formation of these cysts. Other theories propose that cysts form due to leakage of synovial fluid and collection within a small sac. These cysts occur more frequently in young patients and are diagnosed slightly more often in women.
GANGLION CYST SYMPTOMS
It usually presents as a smooth, round lump and varies in size. Size varies; it tends to increase as the joint becomes more active and slightly decreases when the joint rests.
Pain or Discomfort: Some ganglion cysts cause no pain at all. However, if the cyst crosses nerves, it can cause tenderness, tingling, or numbness. Pain is often brought on by movement.
Limited Mobility: Larger cysts close to the joint may cause somewhat limited mobility.
COMPLICATIONS-
Ganglion cysts are benign, but compressions of nerves by the cyst can lead to a feeling of pain, numbness, or tingling. Infection of a cyst is rare and causes swelling and tenderness.
PROGNOSIS-
Ganglion cysts often spontaneously resolve. Treatment with aspiration or surgery is usually successful for those who are not self-limiting, although recurrence is likely, especially after aspiration alone. In the majority of cases, patients can expect to make a complete recovery without serious complications, but they must monitor any new lumps for changes and see a doctor if symptoms worsen.
General Approach –
Immobilization
Drainage of fluid
Surgery
GANGLION CYST HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT
Treatment with homeopathy is aimed at reducing the size of the cyst and would also alleviate symptoms such as pain and discomfort, besides tackling the possible pathological imbalances that may have led to cyst formation. Homeopathic medicines are selected according to the presenting symptoms and constitution of the patient as it is believed by homeopaths that this modality of treatment addresses the patient in toto rather than the condition alone.
Homeopathic Medicines for ganglion cyst
- Ruta Graveolens: It is indicated by most practitioners for cysts associated with tendon and ligament injuries, especially when the affected area is stiff or tender to touch.
- Benzoicum AcidumIndication: Useful when ganglion cysts accompany joint pains if the uric acid levels are high. It operates to help reduce fluid build-up within the joints.
- Causticum is applied to cases where cysts are hard and aching or causing tension. It is applied if the cysts grow slowly but sharp pains characterize the given condition.
- Lycopodium ClavatumIndication: This is one of the common selections when the cyst feels soft or compressible, particularly when the right side of the body is more painful.
