Is calcification of herniated lumbar disc serious?

Lumbar disc herniation with calcification is not a serious category of disease, and this disease is very common in clinical practice. This is because after a lumbar disc herniation, a series of local sterile inflammation can develop. During the pathogenesis of inflammation, abnormal calcium salt deposits may be produced. The presence of a lumbar disc herniation with calcification may often show the following two conditions: 1. Although there is calcification, the calcification has no obvious pressure and irritation for the patient, that is, there are no clinical symptoms, and this condition does not require special treatment. 2. There is a lumbar disc herniation and there is obvious calcification at the site of the herniation, and this condition will produce obvious pressure and irritation on the nerve root of the patient This is a condition that is difficult to be relieved by conventional conservative treatment and should be directly removed by surgery to remove this difficult compression factor.
