How to treat joint cysts? How to treat joint cysts?

Joint cysts are mostly caused by severe arthritis, which leads to fluid accumulation in the joints. Joint cysts are mainly caused by inflammation and damage to the tendons and tendon sheaths. Therefore, to treat joint cysts, it is necessary not only to remove the fluid in the cyst area, but also to pay attention to the health protection of the tendons and tendon sheaths.

1: Usually pay attention to protecting the wrist joints, small joints of the feet, etc. to avoid fatigue. Especially for white-collar workers who work in offices and use computers frequently, they should always pay attention to the combination of work and rest and relax their wrists more to avoid long-term chronic injuries that increase the synovial fluid in the synovial cavity and form cysts.

2: The cyst of the tendon ganglion is filled with liquid, and a transparent jelly-like substance can be extracted with a needle. Therefore, you can apply pressure to squeeze the cyst and let it heal on its own. This method is relatively simple, but the cure is not good and there is often a recurrence.

3: Flex the wrist or foot toward the side opposite to the cyst. For example, if it is on the back of the wrist, bend the palm downward to tighten the skin on the surface of the cyst, that is, the cyst wall also becomes tense. Use your fingers to push the cyst left and right for a few minutes to release the adhesions with the surrounding area, then use your thumb to push the cyst to one side and squeeze it. When you hear a sound, it means that the cyst has ruptured. At this time, let the patient frequently massage the area where the cyst existed before to prevent recurrence.

4: Some cysts do not have a strong sense of fluctuation and are hard in texture. If you simply squeeze them with your fingers, you may not be able to rupture them. In this case, you can try another method. First, disinfect the skin outside the cyst, then use a small needle to pierce the cyst. At this time, you should feel whether there is a sense of emptiness when penetrating the cyst wall. When the puncture is successful, pull out the needle, and then use your thumb to squeeze the contents of the cyst out. Then massage to make the cyst disappear.

5: In addition to massage, after the contents of the cyst are discharged, hormone drugs can be injected into the cyst cavity, commonly used prednisolone acetate, and then bandaged with a bandage for pressure. Under the action of the drug and the bandage, the cyst wall will adhere and then disappear.

6: For cysts that cannot be treated with massage, puncture, or drug injection, or for cysts that recur multiple times, if non-surgical treatments are ineffective, cystectomy is the only option.

Therefore, the corresponding treatment plans are also different. Not all patients are suitable for the same method. Before the condition is confirmed, do not perform physical therapy or take medicine at will, as it will produce side effects. Generally, if the condition is serious, the cyst requires surgery.
