A herniated disc of 8 mm in the lumbar intervertebral vertebral vertebral disc is a relatively serious degree, and it is necessary to seek medical attention in time and take corresponding measures.
Lumbar disc herniation refers to the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus of the lumbar intervertebral disc, compressing the surrounding nerves and blood vessels, causing symptoms such as low back and leg pain. Depending on the degree of nucleus pulposus herniation, lumbar disc herniation can be classified into the following grades:
1.Mild: Nucleus pulposus protrudes less than 4 mm, symptoms are mild, and there may be only mild low back or leg pain.
2.Moderate: The nucleus pulposus protrudes between 4-6 mm, and the symptoms are severe, and symptoms such as significant low back pain, leg pain, and numbness of the lower extremities may occur.
3.Severe: Nucleus pulposus protrusion greater than 6 mm, symptoms are very severe, symptoms such as severe low back pain, leg pain, numbness and weakness of the lower limbs may occur, and even affect walking and daily life.
A herniated 8 mm lumbar disc is beyond the moderate range and is a more serious degree. If left untimely**, it can lead to serious consequences such as nerve damage and muscle atrophy.
For patients with a herniated 8 mm lumbar disc, the following ** measures are recommended:
1.Conservative**: including rest, medication**, physics**, etc., can relieve pain and symptoms, but not**lumbar disc herniation.
2.Surgery**: Surgery may be considered in patients with severe symptoms that do not respond to conservatively**. Surgery** includes minimally invasive surgery and traditional surgery that can effectively relieve pain and symptoms and restore the normal function of the lumbar spine.
It should be noted that the ** method of lumbar disc herniation needs to be selected according to the specific situation of the patient, and it is recommended to carry out ** under the guidance of a doctor.
