Prolapse of lumbar intervertebral disc will cause pain in waist and legs, which will affect work and life in severe cases, and also lead to pain and numbness of lower limbs and weakness in walking. In more serious cases, there will be dysfunction of urination and defecation, or even complete paralysis.
At present, lumbar disc herniation can be divided into three categories.
First, the lumbar disc herniation is the lightest.
Second, lumbar disc herniation.
Third, lumbar disc herniation, the most serious one, also known as lumbar protrusion, means that the lumbar disc completely falls off from the vertebral body and falls into the spinal canal, causing serious compression on the spinal cord, dural sac and nerve roots.
In the first two categories, pain can be relieved by conservative treatment such as traction, acupuncture, massage, fumigation and hyperthermia.
But once the degree of lumbar disc herniation is reached, conservative treatment is meaningless. Only by taking out the protruding lumbar intervertebral disc by surgery can the nerve injury and stimulation be alleviated.
Therefore, patients with lumbar disc herniation need to do a good job of waist maintenance and health care in their daily lives, so as not to aggravate the discomfort of the waist and affect their lives.
1, should not be tired, walking for a long time, standing for a long time or sitting for a long time is not good, changing posture can reduce fatigue.
2, in daily life and work should try to keep the waist upright posture, avoid bending over.
3, sleeping on a hard bed can give a solid support to the waist.
4. Pay attention to keep your waist and feet warm to avoid wet and cold.
5, maintain good eating habits, keep the stool unobstructed.
6. Sexual life should be properly controlled to avoid strenuous exercise.
7. The belt can be used properly, but it is not recommended to use it for a long time, which will affect the recovery of waist muscle strength.
