Hygroma of the wrist joint of the hand - what it is: symptoms, causes

It is worth noting that this is nothing more than a kind of tumor that occurs in the joint on the wrist. Most often appears from the back, but it happens from the internal one, mainly in the place where the pulse is measured. It is difficult to call a full -fledged tumor, since in its structure it resembles a cyst. Such a neoplasm is filled with mucin, as well as fibrous tissues. At the initial stage of occurrence, the substance that is inside is quite liquid.

But over time, it becomes more dense and elastic. It is worth noting that people constantly working with their hands are most subjected to such a disease. Accordingly, Hygroma also occurs on the working hand in left -handers, and in right -handed right. The disease is characteristic of secretaries-machines, manicure, as well as people who are constantly sitting at the computer, and typing the text, constantly straining the wrist. Quite often, the disease appears after the injury, that is, after some kind of blow.

The reasons for the appearance of hygroma:

• Hit
• System diseases
• Overstrain
• Stretching
• Hereditary predisposition

Most often, hygroma develops in people from 10 to 45 years. In 65% of cases, the disease is diagnosed in young women, an age of 35 years. This is due to the fact that mostly women just work as hairdressers, operators or constantly work at the computer.

As for the diagnosis, it is mainly MRI, radiography and examination of the patient. It is worth noting that this tumor is not malignant, it is benign and there were no cases of outcome or its rebirth into cancer. Accordingly, it is dangerous only by its complications.

As for treatment, there are several methods. The most effective is undoubtedly surgery, during which the doctor cuts the skin above the hygroma, cleans, removes the roots, sews the wound. After that, an immobilizing bandage is applied to the wrist area in order to immobilize the joint. Within 7-14 days, you need to wear a bandage. After fraternizing all the fabrics and removing the seams, a person very quickly enters his usual rhythm of life.

Many doctors note that 85% of cases, after the conservative treatment of the hygroma, it may appear again. This is due to the fact that its shell remains unchanged. With small sizes, hygroma is successfully used by physiotherapeutic procedures. This is paraffin, ozokerite, electrophoresis, as well as blockade using glucocorticosteroids. If the size of the hygroma is quite large, then the only option is surgical excision. Because even if you succeed with the help of folk or other ways to get rid of the tumor, after time it will appear again. Since its shell and roots remain in place, and will give impetus to the next tumor growth.

Basically, surgery is carried out under local anesthesia, since the operation is not serious. It is carried out quite quickly. It is worth noting that during the period of rehabilitation it is necessary to completely protect the wrist and try to practically not work. That is, remove the traumatic factor. Accordingly, for hairdressers, this will be a temporary termination of activity. After the restoration of the hand, it will be possible to proceed to your work.

After laser intervention, relapse is a rather rare occurrence. Please note that the disease itself can recur. For many, after the removal of one hygroma, the following or several occurred at once. Therefore, the main task of the surgeon is to remove the roots of the hygroma so that it resolves.

   

2. Puncture. Also, one of the methods of treating hygroma is a puncture, that is, sucking fluid. This method is mainly used in the initial stages of the disease, when the contents of the hygroma did not have time to become solid, it is fluid. Thus, the doctor with a syringe sucks the contents. Corticosteroids can go inside, in order to quickly relieve inflammation, as well as a tumor. Many note the high effectiveness of such treatment.

   

3. Crushing. Previously, the method of crushing hygroma was practiced. In this way, it burst, its contents spread through nearby fabrics. The fact is that this method is ineffective, because after a time the hygroma appeared due to the fact that the capsule was unchanged. She did not resolve and did not go anywhere.
