A member asked:
How likely is a ganglion cyst not to reoccur after having a 1st and 2nd aspiration?

No guarantee: My colleagues in the philippines told me about how they treat ganglion cysts . They slapped it hard with a hard-bound book to break the capsule. You may try it but if you have good medical insurance, go see your dr instead.
