Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 29 years old ( male). lately, I can see something like rounded shape is popping out, on the joint of my hands ( I don t what it is). At first, I thought it is a visible signs of veins coming out but it is more visible day by day..I don t feel any pain but when I touch, it is hard and balls shape. I am worried. Your help will be much appreciated. Thank you
Hai,
1. Painless, slow growing swelling over hand (?dorsum) is usually a ganglion,
2. Get an xray of the hand / wrist done to rule-out other causes,
3. Usually ganglion wont cause any problem unless it gets infected or when it extends into the joint may restrict your hand / wrist movements. In that case it has to be excised and sent for biopsy.
