I've been having this ganglion cyst on my wrist lately and it's been bothering me. What usually causes these and what are the treatment options? Is it something serious that might need surgery, and if so, how long does recovery usually take? Also, what's the chance of it coming back after treatment? Could you recommend a good specialist for this in Mumbai or nearby areas?
