My boyfriend has fluid filed bulge around the size of a quarter on his wrist. it does not hurt. what is this and the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ganglion cyst: It's probably a ganglion cyst. This is a fluid filled sac/bursa that usually forms due to a herniation in tendon sheath or joint capsule. Nearly all of them are benign and they can occur randomly due to microtrauma. Hope this helps!
