Patients with wrist ganglion cysts may use medications such as safflower oil for treatment. Safflower oil promotes blood circulation and unblocks meridians, and also helps resolve blood stasis—without exacerbating the condition. If the patient’s condition is relatively severe, surgical excision of the cyst may be performed, which can facilitate recovery. Additionally, patients should schedule regular follow-up visits to the hospital in daily life.
