Hello,
Ratna I have studied your case. I think that you might be having wrist ganglion. it is swelling near wrist due to collection of fluid in the tendon sheath. Other cause of such swelling can be a muscle injury during workout.
To confirm the diagnosis you need to see a orthopaedic doctor. He may advised you to get x ray of the wrist.Most probably if it is a ganglion than it can be left alone. if it is causing you pain than you can asked it to remove surgically.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
