I recently noticed a rubbery swelling on the back of my wrist. The doctor I consulted diagnosed a Ganglion which he said must be removed surgically. Kindly let me know what causes Ganglion and whether or not they can be cured by medications since I am afraid of operations.

A ganglion cyst is a fluid-filled lump below the surface of the skin that appear on near joints and tendons. No one knows exactly what causes a ganglion cyst to start growing. Some theories indicate that a cyst may develop after something injures a joint, allowing tissue to leak or bulge out. Although anyone can get ganglion, certain factors such previously injuries, and family history may increase your chances of having one of these cysts. In addition, while some ganglions may disappear on their own after some time, those that persist will need surgery to remove them. When done by a competent person, the surgery is simple and safe.
