Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
How was your day?
Hope this message finds you in good health.
I have gone through your query in detail and understand your concern.
I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.and we have found that generally ,almost 60-80 % surgically removed ganglions reappear again.
in your case, only if the ganglion is large enough and painful,the you can think of getting it removed surgically.
chemo/electro causterisation or local steroid injection shot / aspiration will work as effectively as well.
so prefer not to get it removed surgically.
You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.
I hope your question has been answered.
Feel free to consult me anytime for follow-up queries.
Take care,God bless.
Wish you a healthy life : )
If you do not have any clarifications,you can close the discussion.
