A member asked:
Hi, how do i know if my ganglion cyst has ruptured? it's usually the size of a large grape but has swollen all the way up my hand and around my wrist.

Explanation : Ruptured ganglion cyst disappears. If you can see and feel like grape lt means that cysts not ruptured.

Smaller and diffuse: A ganglion cyst is usually pretty tough but can rupture. When it does it is immediately smaller with more diffuse swelling. It usually aches like a broad bruise over the area
