Degeneration and bulging of the intervertebral disc with tearing of the annulus fibrosus, i.e., caused by aging combined with prolonged stress and/or sudden weight-bearing, requires a comprehensive analysis. The intervertebral disc consists of an inner nucleus pulposus and a peripheral annulus fibrosus. Generally speaking, disc degeneration and bulging refers to the gradual loss of water content in the disc with age. Degeneration of the intervertebral disc leads to an increase in the intervertebral space, and if the patient is not in proper posture for a long period of time, the nucleus pulposus inside the annulus fibrosus may bulge outward from the annulus fibrosus, resulting in a bulging disc. At this time, due to long-term force plus long-term stimulation of the nucleus pulposus or sudden weight bearing, the annulus fibrosus may be torn, plus the disc itself is bulging, the nucleus pulposus may also bulge outward to stimulate the cauda equina nerve, resulting in a series of symptoms, such as low back pain. The disc degeneration and bulging with torn annulus fibrosus may also be due to other reasons, and it is recommended that once patients find themselves with similar symptoms, they should seek timely and complete the relevant examinations, and then carry out targeted treatment and therapy.
