Question 1

I have a ganglion cyst on my right wrist and have tried allopathy, siddha, and ayurvedic treatments with no relief. One doctor recommended surgery with a plastic surgeon due to the cyst's location, but another advised against surgery there. Is there a permanent cure for ganglion cysts, and what's the success rate of surgery in this area?

Accepted Answer

While ganglion cysts can resolve on their own or with nonsurgical treatments, surgery is an option when other methods fail or cause significant problems. The success rate of ganglion cyst surgery in the wrist, especially in areas where a plastic surgeon might be involved, is generally high, with many patients experiencing relief from pain and improved function. However, recurrence is possible, and nerve or tendon injury is a rare complication

Question 2

I'm 25 and thinking about reshaping my nose but I really don't want surgery. Is there any way to change the shape without going under the knife? I've heard about nose exercises do they actually work? Also, are there any creams or applications that can help reshape it? If so, which ones would you recommend and how effective are they?

Accepted Answer

While some claim nose exercises and creams can reshape your nose, there's no scientific evidence to support these claims. The shape of your nose is largely determined by bone and cartilage, which cannot be altered by external methods like exercises or creams. Nonsurgical rhinoplasty, using dermal fillers, can temporarily change the nose's shape, but it's not a permanent solution.
