Hello
Thanks for your query.
You can very well remove the ganglion on your wrist.
It depends on the type of anesthesia used, spinal and general anesthesia are risky in pregnancy.
Under local anesthesia, the procedure has no risks in pregnancy.
Even in early pregnancy, you can safely get it removed.
Please do not worry.
take care.
