Will a small needle knife cure a ganglion cyst completely?

Ganglion cysts may be treated with acupuncture, but they cannot guarantee complete cure or recurrence. Ganglion cysts are common soft tissue masses that are often seen near the wrist joint. Although most ganglion cysts are benign and painless, they can sometimes affect mobility and even cause pain. Acupuncture is a minimally invasive method that combines traditional Chinese medicine with modern technology. It uses acupuncture and cutting to eliminate the fluid pressure of the cyst and temporarily relieve symptoms.

The cause of a ganglion cyst is usually related to trauma, inflammation or mechanical stress to the joint or tendon sheath, which may lead to the accumulation of joint fluid and the formation of a cyst. Although microsurgery can effectively reduce pressure, if the original mechanical stress or inflammation is not resolved, the cyst is more likely to recur. Depending on the location and size of the cyst, the treatment method and effect will also vary. In some cases, especially for larger cysts, surgical removal may be a more radical solution.

Generally speaking, acupuncture treatment is simple and quick, with a short recovery time, and is suitable for patients with mild symptoms or who are concerned about surgical complications. However, in order to reduce the risk of recurrence, it is recommended to take appropriate hand rest and physical therapy after treatment to help restore normal joint function and reduce stress. Maintaining good living habits and a healthy diet can also promote the body's recovery ability.

If your ganglion cyst affects your daily activities or causes pain, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a detailed evaluation. A professional doctor will recommend the best possible treatment plan based on your specific situation to ensure that your symptoms are properly managed. For any treatment method, you need to consider its suitability and possible side effects. Do not treat it on your own or delay treatment.
