Hygroma is a benign cyst,which is formed in the tissues of the human body and is a congestion of serous fluid with mucus additives. Mostly it appears on the back of the wrist or the outside of the foot. Most often it is a professional disease, for example, musicians, knitters, etc.
The emergence of hygroma is caused by injuries,bruises, overloads or prolonged physical impact on any area. In some cases, this disease occurs due to the physiological weakness of the tissues. It manifests itself under pressure, causing aching pain and tension. This forms a mobile tumor, which has a rounded shape, the size of which can vary from 5 mm to 5 cm Sometimes purulent inflammatory processes are possible. There is a one-chamber and multi-chamber hygroma. The second can spread to other tissues in neighboring areas.
To clarify the diagnosis, a liquid is usually takenwith the help of a puncture. Sometimes this technique is enough to make the hygroma disappear. Treatment of this disease, however, often requires surgery. The most painful and unacceptable way to get rid of a hygroma is crushing. In this case, the fluid is squeezed into the joint cavity and it spreads through the tissues as a result of rupture of the tumor envelope. Because of this, an inflammatory process may occur, and at best, a relapse occurs, when the membrane will heal and re-fill with fluid. One of the most common manifestations of the disease is the hygroma of the hand. Treatment of this type of puncture is not always effective because of the frequent occurrence of relapses, since the envelope with time is again filled with a painful fluid. Also, treatment with ultraviolet irradiation and paraffin applications is not always successful.
In order to avoid relapses the mostThe optimal method of treatment is surgical intervention. The removal operation should be performed under local anesthesia for 20-30 minutes. After the operation, the seams can be removed not earlier than a week later. Also the hygroma of the wrist is common. Treatment of it is a complex process, and in some complex cases, the operation is performed under general anesthesia.
With the diagnosis of hygroma, laser treatment is the most painless and effective. When using this method, there are practically no traces left after the operation.
