Postoperative healing of lumbar disc herniation is a gradual process, and patients should not be in a hurry, which will affect the surgery and the healing effect. The main precautions are: (1) Bed rest: This is an important part of postoperative treatment. Bed rest is required for a period of time after surgery, routinely 2 to 3 days in bed. Patients who have undergone internal fixation surgery usually get out of bed earlier because of the protection of internal fixation; patients who have undergone simple nucleus pulposus removal get out of bed later because the scar formation of the fibrous ring takes longer time. Generally, depending on the surgical procedure, the extent of removal, whether bone grafting, whether internal fixation, etc., bed rest can be as short as three to five days or as long as several months. The best bed is a hard bed or extra hard Simmons with thick padding. During bed rest, turning should be assisted by others, shoulders and hips should be turned over at the same time, and the waist should not be twisted so as not to affect the healing of the lumbar muscles and ligaments, etc. Use a urinal and disposable diapers, relieve large and small bowel movements in bed, and try not to elevate the hips. After the bed rest phase, you can start to move around indoors gradually, but at first you still need to wear a lumbar brace to protect your waist. (2) Exercise: From the time the drainage tube is removed after surgery, the patient should gradually strengthen the exercise of the lumbar and back muscles, and should persevere after resuming daily activities. You can lie facing the sky, use the heels of both sides and the back of the shoulders as fulcrums, contract the muscles of the low back to lift the hips off the bed, hold them for a few seconds and then slowly lower them, and practice repeatedly. Can also lie on the bed, using the abdomen as a fulcrum, legs straight, hands clasped behind the head, active contraction of the lumbosacral muscles, efforts to lift the head and legs from the bed at the same time, hold for a few seconds and then slowly put down. Or lie on your side in bed, straighten your lower limbs, lift them upward with force, hold them for a while and then put them down again, repeatedly for several times, which can strengthen the muscle strength and facilitate early recovery. (3) Daily activities: After indoor activities, you can move to outdoor activities and walk around the neighborhood and nearby streets. Two to three months after surgery, you can resume sitting in the office and other light physical work. Three to four months after surgery, you can resume some physical work as appropriate, but you should always avoid bending over to carry heavy objects and carrying heavy objects on your shoulder. In daily life, avoid bad postures such as bending and arching the back, and avoid strenuous sports. For young women who have not yet had children, pregnancy and childbirth should be considered after a period of complete recovery (for example, 1 year after surgery), otherwise it is easy to cause recurrence or even aggravation of preoperative symptoms.
