A wrist ganglion, or synovial cyst, is a fluid-filled lump that appears on the wrist. It is benign but may cause discomfort or limit movement.
### **Causes**
– Repetitive wrist use (typing, sports)
– Previous injuries (sprains, trauma)
– Arthritis
– Genetic predisposition
### **Symptoms**
– Visible, soft lump
– Pain or discomfort with movement
– Pressure or numbness if pressing on a nerve
### **Treatment Options**
1. **Observation** – If painless, it may resolve on its own.
2. **Immobilization** – A wrist brace can reduce strain.
3. **Aspiration** – Fluid removal via needle, but recurrence is possible.
4. **Surgery** – Recommended for severe pain or mobility issues.
While harmless, a doctor can help determine the best treatment if symptoms persist.
