Hygroma is a convex formation that looks like a tumor, but doctors consider this a cyst. As a rule, such a disease occurs due to constant overstrain in the soft tissues.
any part of the body. Especially favorite places of hygroma are the hands of a person: wrist, fingers.
Hygroma on the finger causes a lot of inconvenience to a person - not only is it pretty ugly, it’s also painful, especially when pressed. Depending on the type of hygroma (single-chamber or multi-chamber), it can either keep its shape and size, or grow over time. The egg-shaped cone, as a rule, contains a liquid - mucin.
Often, due to their lack of education, people assume that as a result of some malfunctions in the body of the hygroma on the finger, this is an extra bone. However, any specialist without any analysis will give you an accurate diagnosis. In principle, such a tumor is benign, and therefore concerns may not cause a sufficiently long time. But the risk of becoming malignant still exists, so it is simply necessary to consult a doctor. Most often, the hygroma on the finger is the lot of young women.
Causes of occurrence
To date, the exact cause of hygroma has not been elucidated. Traumatologists say that there is more than one reason. The interaction of several,
merged together factors and leads to the appearance of a tumor. For example, heredity: the probability that a hygroma appears on a finger at one “fine” moment is 50%. With single injuries, there is a probability of 30% that a neoplasm will appear. Repeated trauma and simultaneous constant tension in one area are almost an undeniable fact of the occurrence of hygroma. The paradox of this disease is that it is much easier to get it at a young age (20-30 years) than in the elderly. At the same time, men suffer from him three times less than the fair sex. In principle, a hygroma can appear not only on the hands, but also anywhere on the human body where there is connective tissue.
How does the disease develop?
Initially, the hygroma on the finger of the hand, the photo of which you can see here, is a small, but already quite distinguishable tumor. If you press on the neoplasm, you can feel the pain, which is classified depending on the hygroma itself. However, additional factors can also affect the symptoms - the location, load, and initial size of the tumor. So, in about 35% of cases, symptoms with the appearance of a hygroma are not observed at all.
Treatment
With a problem such as a hygroma on the finger, they turn to traumatologists and orthopedists. For many years, they tried to treat the tumor with kneading, crushing, and other physical methods, but everything turned out to be unsuccessful. The use of massages, physiotherapy, therapeutic mud and body wraps also did not bring results. Thus, surgical removal of the hygroma is the only rational method that guarantees success in 90% of cases. Moreover, today such an operation as endoscopic removal is widespread. In this case, a very small incision is made, so that the risk of injuries is much reduced, and recovery is faster.
