Ganglion

What is Ganglion?

Ganglion can be found in any joint and is most commonly on the wrist. When there is a leakage of the lubricate jelly-like fluid that helps to provide “cushion” for the joints, it will form Ganglion Crystal which cause swellness on your wrist.

Symptoms of Ganglion

• Painless swelling found at any joints
• Not inflammed
• A sense of fullness and tightness

Causes of Ganglion

• Weakness of a tendon or joint space
• Trauma to the tendon or joint

Treatment for Ganglion

• Draining out the ganglion by using an aspiration
• Sugerical removal

Self-Diagnose can bring more harm than treating it. It is good to know more about the injury but definitely not to the point of self-treatment. It will be much safer to get treated by Our Doctor, for more information or to book an appointment with Singapore Sports and Orthopaedic Clinic, you can call (+65) 6475 8011, the hotline is open 24 hours.
