Hygroma treatment

Treatment of hygroma is a set of measures aimed at eliminating benign formations of various localizations. Let's consider the features of hygroma treatment, tumor treatment methods and recommendations for its treatment.

A hygroma is a cystic formation, i.e. a capsule filled with transparent gel-like contents. According to clinical data, a hygroma is a round, slightly mobile, but dense tumor covered with normal skin. Hygroma is localized in the joint area.

At the first stage of treatment of this neoplasm, all activities are of a physiotherapeutic nature. That is, massages using absorbable ointments, tight bandaging and other procedures. Such treatment allows to reduce the size of the tumor for a while, but the hygroma shell remains intact and can recur at any time. Treatment of hygroma is a long process, the effectiveness of which depends on the location of the tumor, its size, the patient's age and other individual characteristics.

Methods of treatment of hygroma

The methods of treating hygroma are striking in their diversity. Some methods are approved by medicine, while others are questionable. Hygroma is treated at home using folk medicine, removed surgically, and one of the methods of treating hygroma involves its painful crushing. All this suggests that today there are many methods of treating hygroma. Each of the methods has its advantages and disadvantages.

The optimal treatment option is considered to be physiotherapy procedures in combination with drug therapy. But only a doctor can say for sure which method of treating hygroma will be effective in your particular case. Let's look at the most effective and popular methods of treating hygroma.

• Surgical treatment – this method involves the removal of a benign tumor by surgery. During the surgical intervention, the hygroma is excised, the tumor shell and all its contents are removed. After such treatment, the hygroma does not recur.
• Laser treatment – the hygroma is exposed to a laser, which leads to its complete destruction. During such treatment, adjacent tissues remain undamaged, and the rehabilitation process is much faster than with surgical treatment.
• Crushing the hygroma - this method of treatment involves crushing the tumor. The contents of the hygroma are pressed into the joint cavity and spread to the surrounding tissues. The procedure is very painful. Please note that after such treatment, the hygroma shell remains intact, which means that after some time the tumor will reappear.
• Hygroma puncturing - using a syringe, fluid is sucked out of the neoplasm and medications are injected to dissolve the membrane. But this method does not provide a 100% guarantee that the hygroma will not reappear.
• Treatment with folk remedies - hygroma is treated with the help of folk medicine recipes, which involve the use of ointments, tinctures, compresses and other medicines. The basis of treatment with folk medicine methods is herbal and natural remedies that are absolutely safe for health.

Treatment of hygroma with folk remedies

Treatment of hygroma with folk remedies is one of the methods of getting rid of an unpleasant neoplasm. Folk treatment involves the use of herbal and natural remedies for medicinal purposes, which are absolutely safe for the human body and help cure hygroma at any stage of development.

There are many recipes of traditional medicine that do not require much time for preparation and expensive ingredients, but have effective healing properties. As a rule, treatment of hygroma with folk remedies is used at home and does not require a doctor's permission.

Treatment of hygroma with copper

Treatment of hygroma with copper is a folk remedy treatment. Many doctors and patients have a lot of doubts and questions about this treatment of a benign tumor. What are the beneficial properties of copper and how does it help cure hygroma? Unfortunately, no one can answer these questions, but the fact remains – copper helps cure the neoplasm.

So, to treat a hygroma with copper, you will need a copper coin and an elastic bandage or any other bandage that you will wear for several days without removing. Apply the coin to the hygroma and apply a tight bandage. The bandage is prohibited from being removed for at least three days. If the hygroma is large, then the bandage must be worn for at least five days. Those who have used this method of treating hygroma confirm its effectiveness. Another method based on treating hygroma with copper is that the coin is heated over a fire, doused with a saline solution and tied to the affected area of the body for several days.

Treatment of hygroma at home

Treatment of hygroma at home is carried out using folk methods. Hygroma is classified as a disease that is constantly progressing, despite the fact that this process is quite slow. Gradually, a small seal turns into a large subcutaneous lump. When a hygroma appears, it is recommended to seek medical help, but if this is not possible, then treatment is carried out at home using folk methods.

• The most common method of treating a hygroma at home is to crush it. With the help of a hard massage, pressure or blow, the tumor shell is torn, and its liquid contents spill over the tissues in the joint cavity. The method is very painful and ineffective, since over time the hygroma shell grows together and the tumor recurs.
• Treating hygroma at home with compresses is a more effective and painless method. You can make compresses yourself using traditional medicine recipes or seek medical advice. The simplest and most effective compress is made from ficus tincture (a handful of plant leaves are poured with purified kerosene and infused). A piece of gauze is soaked in the tincture, the compress is applied to the hygroma for a couple of hours, and then replaced with a fresh one. Such treatment within 14 days will permanently get rid of the hygroma.
• To treat hygroma, you can make a herbal ointment. Mix a spoonful of red clay and a spoonful of sea salt and dilute with water. You should get a thick paste. Put it on gauze and bandage it to the hygroma.
• Crushed chestnuts are another way to cure hygroma at home. Simply apply a compress of chestnut gruel to the tumor and change it every 3-4 hours for 1-2 weeks.

If treatment of hygroma at home does not bring the expected results, then it is necessary to seek medical help and remove the tumor surgically.

Treatment of hygroma with laser

Treatment of hygroma with a laser is a modern method that is an alternative to surgery. Before the procedure, the patient undergoes diagnostics, which begins with an examination, ultrasound examination and magnetic resonance imaging. Only after diagnostics, the doctor decides whether it is advisable to remove the hygroma with a laser.

The treatment is carried out under local anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the treatment. As a rule, a carbon dioxide laser is used for hygroma, which has coagulating and disinfecting properties. Using a laser, the surgeon cuts the skin over the hygroma and removes the capsule with its contents. After that, the doctor treats the subcutaneous bed and applies a number of internal and external sutures. The final stage of laser treatment is the application of a sterile bandage and recommendations for the rehabilitation period. Please note that during laser treatment of hygroma, joint fixation is used with brace bandages or immobilizing plaster bandages.

The main advantage of laser treatment is the aesthetics of this method and the cosmetic effect. There are no scars or marks on the skin where the operation was performed, which cannot be said about traditional surgical intervention. And the time of laser treatment does not take longer than 10-15 minutes, and there is no need to stay in the hospital for observation. Treatment of hygroma with a laser is carried out on patients over 7 years old.

Treatment of hygroma with ointments

Treatment of hygroma with ointments is an effective method that allows painlessly getting rid of a benign tumor with liquid contents. As a rule, hygroma appears due to injuries or lifting weights. Treatment with ointment takes a long time, but unlike surgery, it does not leave scars and does not lead to complications.

The most popular ointment for the treatment of hygroma is considered to be propolis ointment. To prepare the ointment, you will need a couple of spoons of propolis, butter and a ceramic pot. The butter and propolis are mixed in the pot over low heat for three hours. After this, the ointment must be filtered and poured into a glass jar. It is recommended to apply the ointment to the lump twice a day, use until the hygroma is completely absorbed.

Drug treatment of hygroma

Medicinal treatment of hygroma is not used, since today there are no effective drugs that could help cure a benign neoplasm. Therefore, the most effective method of treating hygroma is considered to be surgical excision and surgical removal of the tumor.

When performing puncture, i.e. removing fluid from the hygroma with a syringe, medications can be injected into the tumor cavity for its rapid resorption. In this case, medications are selected by a doctor and depend on the patient's age, the location of the hygroma and the stage of its development. The most popular, accessible and effective method of treating hygroma are considered to be traditional medicine methods, but even they do not guarantee that it will be possible to get rid of the hygroma forever.

Surgical treatment of hygroma

Surgical treatment of hygroma involves several treatment methods. First of all, this is surgical excision of the tumor, its removal, puncturing and laser treatment. All these methods allow you to get rid of hygroma.

Surgical excision is performed under anesthesia, just like its removal. The doctor cuts the skin over the tumor with a scalpel and removes it along with the liquid contents. After this, the patient's wound is disinfected and stitches are applied. But after such surgical treatment of hygroma, scars remain, inpatient observation is required, and the rehabilitation process takes a long time. Puncture and laser treatment are safer methods, but they are carried out only on doctor's recommendations.
