Hello, I'm Dr. Karen Zhan. When it comes to lumbar disc herniation, many people are familiar with it. According to the National Health Commission, about 200 million people in China suffer from lumbar intervertebral disc-related diseases. Lumbar disc herniation is a common and common condition in spine surgery, and the lower back pain and low back pain caused by it is one of the most common symptoms.
Regarding lumbar disc herniation, the Internet is full of circulating remarks, including some misleading ideas. Today we will talk about three common misconceptions about lumbar disc herniation, and I hope you can avoid these misunderstandings next time.
Myth 1: A hard bed can be a herniated lumbar disc.
No matter what type of bed you sleep in, it will not put the already herniated lumbar disc back into place. In fact, a mattress that is too hard or too soft is not conducive to the health of the lumbar spine. The human lumbar spine has a normal physiological curvature, and the bed for sleeping should be a bed that is moderately soft and hard, and can maintain the physiological curvature of the lumbar spine, rather than a hard bed.
Myth 2: Lumbar disc herniation is lumbar disc herniation.
A herniated disc is a symptom, whereas a herniated disc is a disease. Clinically, lumbar disc herniation is only an imaging description and is not necessarily accompanied by clinical symptoms. Lumbar disc herniation is a disease, a common degenerative disease of the spine, usually caused by the degeneration of the lumbar intervertebral disc and the rupture of the fibrous annulus, which causes the nucleus pulposus to herniate or compress the nerve root and cauda equina nerve. If you have a herniated lumbar disc, it is important to receive it promptly**.
Myth 3: If the waist does not hurt, it means that the lumbar intervertebral disc herniation is better.
In most cases, patients with lumbar disc herniation will experience significant pain relief after conservative**. However, less pain does not mean that the disease is cured. It is advisable to consult a doctor and subject to the judgment of a professional doctor.
