How to completely cure tendon sheath cyst?

Tendon sheath cyst is a kind of benign mass containing colloidal mucus, which usually occurs near joint capsule or tendon sheath. It can occur on the back of wrist, the radial part of carpometacarpal surface, palm, fingers and dorsum of foot, and a small part occurs near knee joint and elbow joint. Tendon sheath cyst is very easy to recur. So, how can we completely eradicate the tendon sheath cyst?

First of all, let's look at the etiology of tendon sheath cyst:

Generally, it is caused by increased joint pressure and repeated activities. Therefore, when you suspect this disease, you should first go to the orthopedics department of a general hospital for color Doppler ultrasound examination. After the diagnosis, determine the treatment plan. In most cases, surgical resection is recommended.

If the tendon sheath cyst is to be completely cured, it is necessary to choose a suitable treatment plan and make a serious pathological examination according to the situation and doctor's advice after operation. At the same time, you should also pay attention to reducing wrist movement and reducing the risk of disease recurrence.

So, what are the treatments for tendon sheath cyst?

Generally speaking, there are three treatments for tendon sheath cyst. They are puncture and drainage, manual massage and surgical treatment. Puncture and drainage refers to puncture and drainage of cystic fluid with a thick needle after local anesthesia, then injection of hyaluronidase or adrenocortical hormone, and finally pressure dressing. Manual massage is to squeeze the cyst wall, squeeze out the cyst fluid, flatten the cyst, and then compress it with elastic bandage for about 2 weeks. The method of surgical treatment is local anesthesia first, then excision of the affected cyst, and then pressure dressing after operation. However, one disadvantage of surgical treatment is that it will cause trauma to the wrist or ankle, so the recovery period is long, and it usually takes more than one month to carry out normal activities after operation.

Next, we will talk about some precautions for patients with tendon sheath cyst after treatment, because the precautions will greatly affect whether the patient can be completely cured.

First, pay attention to eating more fruits and vegetables. In order to supplement vitamins and balance nutrition, patients need to eat more fruits and vegetables, such as pears, hawthorn, oranges, apples and celery, rape and vegetables.

Second, wash your hands and feet with hot water. If you feel tired, it is a good practice to wash the affected area with hot water, because it can effectively promote blood circulation.

Third, learn to massage yourself.

If all joints feel pain and discomfort after delivery, joint activities in time and self-massage from shallow to deep can effectively relieve discomfort.

Only by choosing appropriate treatment methods and nursing after treatment can the recurrence of tendon sheath cyst be prevented and the tendon sheath cyst can be completely treated.
