Suggest Treatment For Swollen Hands With Lumps On The Wrists
Question: The outside edge of my hand is swollen and when I bend my wrist back there are two small visible lumps
Brief Answer:
Could be ganglion
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
According to your history it appears that you have developed ganglion . This is a swelling arising from muscle tendon sheat. Usually they appear on hand and also may be multiple.
I suggest you to consult your doctor to rule out hand odema and also to confirm ganglion. On clinical examination it may be made out.
Once confirmed about ganglion the treatment is surgical removal , if it is painful.
Nonpainful may be just observed and treated if increasing in size.
Hope I have answered your question . If any further queries are there I would love to help.
Regards
Dr Deepika Patil
