How long will ganglionic cyst take to resolve?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on the pictures you provided, it appears to be a ganglionic cyst, which is a swelling that typically occurs in the joint. These cysts often resolve on their own over time. However, they can sometimes cause pain and discomfort, which can be managed with NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). If the cyst continues to grow or if it causes persistent pain or numbness, surgical removal may be necessary. As it has recently appeared, my recommendation would be to monitor it for now and use pain medications as needed. Typically, it takes about four to eight months for a ganglionic cyst to completely resolve.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

• It is for pain and also to reduce the inflammation.

• None of the medication will help in reducing the size, other than the surgery.

• It may take four to eight months to heal the cyst spontaneously.
