Your doctor can remove fluid from the cyst with a needle.
Note: This method is quick, but the lymph node may re-enlarge in the following weeks.
Surgery (if needed)
If the lymph node is painful or debilitating, surgery may be considered.
The good news is that the risk of recurrence is lower after surgery.
Can lymph nodes be prevented?
Although it is difficult to predict who will develop swollen lymph nodes, certain precautions can help reduce the risk:
Avoid repetitive movements that put too much strain on your wrist.
Take regular breaks if you spend long hours at a computer.
Protect your wrist during high-risk sports activities.
Conclusion: Should we be concerned?
A swollen lymph node on your wrist is not dangerous, but it can be uncomfortable. If you experience pain or limited movement, it is advisable to consult a doctor to determine the best course of action.
