There is a lump on the inside of the wrist

Normally, we always pay attention to our bodies. We don’t worry about scratches or lumps when we first notice them, but if they don’t go away after a few days, we will start to worry. This situation does require attention because it may have serious consequences or it may just be a false alarm. If you have a lump on the inside of your wrist, what is causing it? What are the corresponding strategies? Next, let me introduce it to you.

1. "Ganglion cyst" is a cystic tumor that occurs in the tendon sheath of the joint. It is a disease caused by the degeneration of the connective tissue around the joint capsule. It contains colorless, transparent, orange or light yellow thick mucus, and often occurs on the back of the wrist and the back of the foot. Most patients are young and middle-aged, and more often women. It is a hemispherical protrusion superficially under the skin, soft and movable, a slowly developing cystic tumor with a smooth surface, clear boundaries, soft texture, and a sense of fluctuation. It has no obvious subjective symptoms or may have slight soreness. When the cyst is filled with fluid, the cyst wall becomes hard and locally tender. When touched, the subcutaneous tissue feels full and has a fluctuating cystic feeling, accompanied by wrist weakness, discomfort or pain, mostly soreness or radiating pain, and may have certain functional impairment. If there are no obvious effects, no treatment is necessary.

Corresponding strategies: (1) Squeeze or tap: Use the thumbs of both hands to forcefully squeeze the cyst to rupture it. If the cyst is too hard to be squeezed, use a wooden board or a small hammer to directly break it, and then massage the area for 10 to 20 minutes to allow the fluid to flow out.

(2) Fluid extraction therapy: For those cysts that cannot be ruptured by squeezing or tapping, the cyst can be punctured with an injection needle, the cyst fluid is extracted first, and then hydrocortisone acetate injection is injected into the cyst to make the cyst wall adhere.

(3) Cupping after acupuncture: First, insert the needle from the top of the cyst, penetrate the cyst wall at the base, and then remove the needle and apply the cupping to absorb a small amount of mucus (about 20 minutes). The treatment is once every 3 days. It has been used frequently in clinical practice with very good results.

(4) Surgery: It is suitable for patients with recurrent cysts or hard cysts in the later stage. Cystectomy or cyst wall eversion suture is usually performed in the outpatient clinic. The operation is simple, less invasive, and the patient can move immediately after the operation.
