SLIDE 3 | Is a Ganglion Cyst Dangerous? 
Usually, no.
A ganglion cyst is generally:
Benign
Non-cancerous
Not always in need of treatment
However, if it becomes painful, causes numbness or tingling, or affects hand movement, it should be medically evaluated.
SLIDE 4 | Why Does It Develop?
The exact cause is not always known.
However, ganglion cysts may be associated with:
Repetitive wrist use
Repetitive hand movements
Previous injuries or sprains
Changes in the tissues surrounding a joint or tendon
Having these factors does not necessarily mean that a ganglion cyst will develop.

SLIDE 5 | The Mistake You Should Avoid 
Don’t hit the cyst.
Don’t squeeze it forcefully.
Don’t try to puncture it with a needle.
Don’t try to drain it at home.
Doing so may cause:
Infection
Bleeding
Nerve or blood vessel injury
Damage to surrounding tissues
And the consequences may be worse than the cyst itself.
SLIDE 6 | Does It Need Surgery?
