Trauma or : Repetitive use or just time can make a ganglion expand. They also go down in size too. A ganglion is a fluid filled sac attar he'd to the joint or a tedon sheath so the fluid can go into or out of the ganglion from the joint or tendon sheath.

Depends: Usually people do not want the cyst to get bigger, but smaller. If due to overuse, then continuing use may allow it to grow. With growth there may also be increase in symptoms like pain, pressure and neuropathic pain.
