This requires assessment based on the severity of the condition. If the condition is mild, oral medication and regular exercise may suffice for recovery. However, if it is more severe, surgical treatment at a hospital is necessary. For patients with small ganglion cysts that do not affect normal appearance, routine follow-up examinations are generally sufficient. In contrast, if the ganglion cyst is large and compromises aesthetic appearance, active surgical excision is warranted.
