that their size can change.
Some become larger after repeated activity or movement and smaller when the joint is rested.
This happens because the cyst is connected to structures around a joint and contains fluid.
A lump that changes size does not automatically mean that it is dangerous.
Can Ganglion Cysts Go Away on Their Own?
Yes.
Some ganglion cysts disappear without treatment.
Others may remain for months or even longer.
Because many ganglion cysts are harmless and painless, doctors may recommend simply observing them rather than immediately treating them.
