| | Smaller ganglions that remain hidden under the skin (occult ganglions) may be quite painful. | | | Large ganglions, even if they are not painful, are unattractive. | | | If the ganglion causes significant pain or severely limits your activities, you may choose to have the doctor drain the fluids with a procedure called "aspiration." The doctor will numb the wrist and puncture the cyst with a needle to remove the fluid. |

| | Surgical treatment involves bursting the ganglion simply by putting pressure on it after puncturing it in several places with a needle or draining the jelly-like contents with a needle. | | | If the ganglion is painful, the doctor may be able to relieve the discomfort through surgical or other means, but in most cases the small, harmless lump requires no treatment and has no effect on one's daily activities. | | | You should promptly seek professional medical care if you have any concern about your health, and you should always consult your physician before starting a fitness regimen. |

| | The ganglion cyst is not associated with nerves, but with joints and tendon sheaths. | | | Tendon sheath ganglions usually hurt when you grip, because they are found just under the skin but overlying the bone. | | | The ganglion may become less tense and less painful but they almost always come back, sometimes within days or weeks. |

| | If a ganglion is sufficiently large, causes pain, or interferes with normal tendon functioning, it can be either aspirated (a needle is inserted into the cyst and the fluid removed) or surgically excised. | | | They tend to disappear over time, so we usually just reassure the parents and wait a while. | | | It is caused by a defect in one of the joint capsules, which allows an outpouching (herniation) of the joint membranes through the defect. |
