Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lin Yunfei
The wrist ganglion cyst is progressively enlarging and can be treated using the following methods:
1. **Medication**: Under a physician’s guidance, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as celecoxib capsules or diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets may be prescribed to alleviate inflammation and pain.
2. **Surgical treatment**: When medication fails to relieve symptoms, surgical excision may be considered.
In daily life, patients should ensure adequate rest for the affected hand.
