A ganglion cyst is usually nothing to worry about. However, if you develop a cyst that causes you embarrassment, pain or other symptoms, it is a good idea to explore your treatment options.
Cost is always a consideration when making any decisions about treatment. Don’t let the cost of ganglion cyst removal in Sydney prevent you from receiving treatment with Dr Jai Sungaran for an unsightly or painful cyst. You may be eligible for reimbursement from Medicare or a private health fund, depending on the circumstances of your case.
Ganglion Cyst Treatment
Ganglion cysts are benign lumps or bumps filled with a clear gel-like fluid that form on the hand and wrist. Many ganglion cysts do not produce pain or other symptoms, and go away on their own without treatment. However, if a cyst is cosmetically unsightly, causes pain or limits normal activity or hand or wrist function, there are several treatment options.
One option is aspiration, during which a needle is inserted into the cyst under ultrasound guidance. This improves the success rate of resolving the cyst, however there is a slight chance the cyst can recur after aspiration.
Another option is surgical removal of the cyst. Both the cyst and some of the tissue attached to the cyst are removed. Though surgery is more invasive, it significantly reduces the likelihood of recurrence.
