The nerve compression of a herniated lumbar disc does not lead to nerve necrosis, because the herniated nucleus pulposus is compressing the nerve, not the blood vessels, and only when the blood vessels are compressed will it lead to necrosis in some parts of the patient. The nerve compression will not lead to necrosis, but it will also lead to impaired nerve function and thus a series of symptoms, such as radioactive pain or numbness in the lower limbs, and incontinence in severe cases. A herniated lumbar disc can be treated by a variety of methods, clinically mainly divided into conservative treatment and surgical treatment, conservative treatment is through acupuncture, massage, traction and shock waves and oral medication and the use of creams and other therapies. When conservative treatment is ineffective or less effective, patients can choose to undergo surgery, which can directly relieve the state of nerve compression and is the most rapid treatment method.
