Treatment in any case can not be done on its own, this should be done by a doctor specializing in this field.
First, the diagnostics will be carried out. For this, x-rays and puncture are usually used. Studies will help to exclude the possibility that the tumor is not benign, but malignant. The contents of the hygroma are pumped out and sent for biochemical analysis to the laboratory. Only after all these actions is determined the type of treatment suitable for the patient.
In fact, all other methods of combating such a neoplasm are reduced to one - removal, but without the use of surgical manipulation.
These include:
- physiotherapy (UHF, ultrasound, magnetotherapy, salt / soda baths);
- mechanical method;
- folk remedies;
- punctuation;
- medicamentous (with additional massage) and homeopathic treatment.
The nature of therapeutic measures determines the size of the hygroma.

Crushing
When the tumor is still very small, it is usually crushed (crushing the ganglion), which, by the way, is very painful and often leads to new formations.
This is due to the pouring of liquid from the capsule into the joint cavity and spreading it over the nearest tissues.
An inflammatory reaction, suppuration, development of phlegmon, abscess of soft tissues, formation of fistulas can occur.
Punctuation
This method involves suctioning with a syringe liquid and the introduction into its cavity of various substances, after which it temporarily closes.
Therefore, such a procedure must be repeated many times.
Medicinal products
Drug treatment is used in cases where, due to the compression of tissues around the tumor, inflammation appears. In rare cases, the hygroma also inflames (if the articular cavity inflamed, from which a cystic formation grows).
First you need to decide on the type of inflammation. Pulmonary (aseptic) inflammation is eliminated without any problems with the help of special preparations, in case of purulent - surgical treatment is performed, and it is necessary to consult a doctor without delay.
Monotherapy with antibiotics in this variant of the development of the disease is indispensable, since they simply can not cope with the rapidly multiplying bacteria that cause complications. The treatment with antibiotics in the post-operation period is welcomed with the aim of completely destroying infectious foci.
Aseptic treatment involves taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (for example, "Nimesil" and "Diclofenac"), antihistamine (often used by Clemastin and Gystan) and corticosteroidal anti-inflammatory (vivid representative "Diprosalik") of the means.
.The mechanism of action of the first group is the blocking of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (type 1-2), followed by a decrease in the concentration of the pro-inflammatory biological substance.
The second - in stopping histamine release, as well as strengthening of mast cell membranes and complete destruction of histamine, located in macrophages.
The third - in anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive action. "Diclofenac "Gistan" and "Diprosalik" - ointments of local effect, applied to the affected area of the skin as a treatment.
Ointments for treatment are usually used in the regressive state of the tumor and the lack of concomitant extensive development. Often used and homeopathic treatment of hygroma, based on the intake of drugs with plant origin.
This option is most suitable for those who have an allergy or an individual intolerance to most medications that actively counteract the progression of the disease.
Folk methods
The most popular drugs used to treat gigrom, regardless of the location of education, include:
- compresses from the leaves of white cabbage, red clay, medical alcohol;
- Fresh stems of celandine or wormwood as a lubricant of the affected area;
- ficus tincture on kerosene;
- mask of red clay.
One of the popular methods is a mask of red clay. It will require sea salt (2 tsp), water (100 g), red clay in powder form (sold in pharmacies).
The first two ingredients are mixed, then a powder is added to it.
The resulting gruel is applied and covered with several layers of bandage. Dryed clay should be periodically moistened (through a bandage).
Keep for a day, then repeat (no sooner than 2 hours later).
Treatment with dimexide or iodine is very effective and has a number of "advantages". Iodine compress has antiseptic properties, it has a beneficial effect on tissues, stimulating blood circulation, and helps in the destruction of pathogens inside tissues and skin cover.
Dimexide will remove puffiness and relieve inflammation, but positive effects can be expected only if the tumor-like formation is soft, with a predominant amount of fluid. In the advanced stage it is used as an addition to other medicines.
.As a prevention, it is recommended to avoid injury and do not overcool your wrists and other joints, and also lead a healthy lifestyle, eat right, do not bring yourself to a state of complete exhaustion.
Even the safest means to cure a hygroma without surgery should be used very carefully, continuously observing how the body reacts, and in case of negative manifestations consult a doctor.
