Some people are cured of chronic diseases all their lives, others invent and drive them crazy for themselves doctors who cannot find the cause of their patients' “illness”. And there are those who are absolutely healthy! True, we have very few of these. And the fault is not only ecology, food and nutrition, etc. Life is very unpredictable, and you can get injured even at home, sitting on a chair. For example, a chair has dried up, a man fell, placing his hand and earned a dislocation. This is already enough to get bumps on the wrist.
If a person’s daily work is associated with carrying heavy loads or any other hard physical work, then he is also at risk. Professional and novice athletes are no exception. Most often, bumps on the wrist appear in beginners who neglect protective dressings and bandages. But it often happens that a person does not remember at all about the injury that he received, for example, in childhood, and after a few years all the same bumps appear on the wrist.
Many do not even immediately notice that a tubercle has appeared on the joint. This is discovered by chance, and with complete bewilderment they begin to examine the hands of their relatives in order to understand: is this the case with everyone, or just me ?! In fact, bumps on the wrist is a fairly common problem that has been known for a very long time. It usually does not cause harm or inconvenience, however, it does not add to the aesthetic appearance of a hand. A few decades ago, all surgeons agreed that this growth on the wrist just needs to be crushed and rewound the hand for a while. Some traditional healers advised tying a copper coin to a problem place or collecting complex healing ointments, decoctions, making difficult ceremonies ... But all this often helped only for a while.
In order to learn how to treat a growth on the wrist, you need to find out what it is and where it came from. This problem is nothing more than a tumor called "hygroma." It is education, not a tumor. From the name you can understand that there is fluid inside this “bone” on the wrist. But how did she get there ?! In trauma, the integrity of the membrane holding the inter-articular fluid was impaired, it flowed beyond the joint and overgrown with a capsule. The more you use this hand, and especially if you continue to give a large load on it, the cone on the wrist hardens and grows. This is due to the constant influx of new fluid. That is why, when some people notice a neoplasm, they consider it to be a bone on the wrist. Several growths can form in the same place.
On the advice of many, and even doctors, this problematic swelling can be crushed. But remember the law of physics: “Nothing appears out of nowhere and does not disappear without a trace, but only passes from one state to another”? So, in our case, it moves from one place to another. But where then ?! Back to the joint? Its too much for one joint. This fluid remains approximately in the same place, does not return to the joint, only spreads under the skin. Remember that the growth on the wrist is formed on the tendon, and it is on it that the capsule is held. When it is crushed, the membrane itself remains and over time can again be filled with joint fluid (the same or new). But the fact that the shell does not return can become inflamed. And then certainly a serious operation can not be avoided.
What and how are hygromas treated? If they do not interfere with the hand to move fully and the aesthetic appearance of the wrist is not important for you, then you can do nothing with the growth and just forget about it, and shift the hard work from this hand to the second. If the hygroma hurts, pulls, interferes with the movement of the wrist, is very large, grows rapidly, then it must be disposed of surgically. The most important thing is to remove the capsule completely. Only in this way can you get more than a 50% chance that the problem will not return. True, the scar will remain anyway. With laser surgery, it will be minimal.
We wish you health and beauty!
