Most of the ganglions are painless and self resolving .. surgery can be avoided.. however, if it’s painful we need to rule out underlying ligament injury in which case surgery is suggested..
Consult nearby hand surgeon/ orthopaedician for evaluation..

You can use wrist belt and some NSIDs for time being.
But if symptoms persist, need surgical treatment.
