Over 4 years ago I had a node removed. The diagnosis on discharge from the hospital is: Ganglion regionis medialis genus dex. Recently I have noticed that he has shown himself to me again and it is something very palpable. I do not know what to do. I do not want to undergo surgery again because since then I have had problems with my knee and my leg was disfigured. Should I go to the doctor anyway to find out what needs to be done? Could it be growing for me? I don't know what to do or if it's a serious matter.

The decision to reoperate on the same joint is certainly a difficult matter for both the patient and the doctor. I would encourage you to consult an orthopedic doctor specializing in knee conditions. Usually, orthopedists caring for athletes have extensive experience in treating recurring orthopedic problems. You did not specify the city in which you live - I suggest that you ask for the address of the appropriate clinic at the NHF branch.

Remember that our expert's answer is informative and will not replace a visit to the doctor.
