There is a swelling on my right wrist and looks like ganglion cyst , it was operated and removed in 2004 and again appears after 5 years at the same place. since then it was swelling for a couple of months and disappears for 4/5 months. During the swelling the movement of the wrist is hard and a little pain also there. Can you suggest me is there any complete cure for the same.

Hello and welcome to HCM
Is the swelling that you got couple of years back proven as ganglion cyst histopathologically?
A swelling on the wrist can be a ganglion cyst or a simple cyst.
Ganglion cyst is known to recur and it causes discomfort and pain.
Management of cyst is surgical removal.
So, consult your doctor for its removal.
Thanks and take care
