Yes typically
Yes, this is a commonly treated condition in orthopedics. There are several approaches to treatment and different doctors will recommend different treatments based on their experience. However, the two most common ways to treat a symptomatic ganglion cyst is either 1) aspiration of the cyst and 2) surgery. If it doesn't bother you, leave it alone.
Yes they do!
Yes, usually injection.
Yes. If the ganglion cyst is at your wrist or hand, then you should consult a hand surgeon. Ganglion cysts can be treated with either aspiration, which is not always successful, or surgical excision.
