Ganglion Cyst Treatment in Johor Bahru

Sista Ganglion

A ganglion cyst is a non-cancerous fluid-filled lump that most commonly forms on the wrist or hand, but can also occur on the ankle or foot. It arises from the tissue surrounding joints or tendons (tendon sheaths) and is filled with a thick, jelly-like fluid. Ganglion cysts are the most common soft tissue swellings of the hand and wrist. They can vary in size and may appear and disappear spontaneously. Most are painless, but some press on nearby nerves causing pain, tingling, or weakness.

Symptoms of Ganglion Cyst

✓Round or oval lump near a joint or tendon, typically on the wrist or hand

✓Soft, smooth swelling that may feel firm

✓Pain or discomfort when using the joint

✓Tingling or numbness if a nerve is pressed

✓Size may fluctuate with activity

✓In some cases, no pain — only cosmetic concern

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

See a doctor to confirm the diagnosis of any new lump — it is important to rule out other causes. See a doctor if the lump is painful, growing, causing numbness, or affecting joint movement. Any lump that is hard, fixed, or grows rapidly should be assessed promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a ganglion cyst dangerous?▼

Ganglion cysts are benign and not cancerous. They do not spread to other parts of the body. While most are harmless, they can occasionally cause pain or nerve compression that requires treatment. Any unexplained lump should be assessed by a doctor to confirm it is benign.

Can a ganglion cyst go away on its own?▼

Yes. Up to 40-50% of ganglion cysts resolve without treatment over time. If a cyst is painless and not causing functional problems, watchful waiting is a reasonable option. Our doctors will advise on whether your cyst needs treatment or monitoring.

How do I get a ganglion cyst assessed at Klinik Muhibbah?▼

Book at movo-x.com/kiosk/muhibbah or walk in during clinic hours. Our doctors will examine the lump, confirm the diagnosis, and discuss treatment options including aspiration or surgical referral if needed.
