The severity of lumbar 4-5-6 section herniation needs to be judged according to the degree of disc protrusion and clinical symptoms, if the protrusion is not obvious and the symptoms are mild then it is not serious, on the contrary, it is more serious.
Lumbar disc herniation is caused by degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, degeneration of the intervertebral discs, rupture of the annulus fibrosus, protrusion of the nucleus pulposus to the back and compression of the nerve roots in the dural sac, and its severity should be judged according to the degree of herniation of the intervertebral discs and clinical symptoms.
If the herniated disc is not obvious and does not compress the nerve root at the back or only has mild compression, it can be relieved after treatment, such as oral diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
If the herniated disc is more obvious and severely compresses the nerve root, with obvious symptoms such as low back pain, radiating pain in the lower limbs, abnormal sensation, incontinence, etc., it is more serious and usually requires surgical treatment.
After the examination found that the lumbar disc herniation, it is recommended to consult the doctor in time, under the guidance of the doctor’s diagnosis and treatment. The use of the above medications should be in accordance with medical advice.
