The prognosis of lumbar disc herniation has: 1, simple lumbar disc herniation, if it can be detected and treated by surgery in time before the nerve root is severely deformed, the surgical effect is better; 2, if the symptoms of edema, ischemia, degeneration or scarring occur and last for a long time, the condition is aggravated, the recovery time from surgery is longer and the prognosis is worse; 3, the nerve root is compressed for a long time and causes muscle atrophy, even if the surgery lifts the nerve compression, it can only relieve the pain symptoms of the patient’s lower limbs, but it cannot solve the phenomenon of numbness, weakness and difficulty in walking of the patient’s lower limbs, and long-term rehabilitation is needed.
