A member asked:
If a ganglion cyst ruptures on its own, could compression help prevent recurrence?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Compressed cyst: That's a nice idea, but I doubt it will be a permanent fix because the inner lining of the outpouched membrane making up the cyst will still be there and will continue to secrete fluid resulting the cyst getting big again.
