Ganglion Cyst Treatment in India

Sara Singh, a 28-year-old graphic designer, first noticed a small, painless bump on the back of her wrist six months ago. An avid painter and yoga enthusiast, she initially dismissed it. However, the cyst grew steadily, becoming visibly prominent and causing a dull, aching pain during long design sessions and when bending her wrist in yoga poses like downward dog. It also made her self-conscious about her appearance. Her primary care physician confirmed it was a ganglion cyst and referred her to a general surgeon when conservative measures like rest and a wrist brace failed. The surgeon explained that surgical excision (ganglionectomy) was the definitive treatment to prevent recurrence. Sara was nervous about the scar and taking time off work. The outpatient procedure under local anesthesia went smoothly, though the area was sore and bandaged afterward. Recovery involved two weeks of limited wrist movement and gentle physiotherapy. Within a month, her pain was gone, and she regained full, pain-free range of motion. Emotionally, she transitioned from frustration and self-consciousness about the lump to relief and regained confidence, happily returning to her painting and yoga without limitation.
