How to treat herniated lumbar disc with small abdominal cramps

Herniated lumbar disc and small abdominal swelling may be related to the higher position of the herniated disc, and the treatment mainly includes medication, surgery, and so on. Higher lumbar disc herniation can stimulate and compress the spinal cord or nerve roots, which may lead to autonomic nervous system dysfunction, resulting in abdominal distension, which can be treated with medication and surgery. 1. Drug treatment: when the condition is mild, intravenous drip such as mannitol injection can be used to relieve edema, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as diclofenac sodium) to reduce pain, and nutritive nerve medication (methylcobalamin, etc.). 2. Surgery: If the effect of conservative treatment is not good, or the serious symptoms of herniated disc are very obvious, surgery can be used. Lumbar disc herniation may also be not related to abdominal distension, it is recommended to consult a doctor for further examination, to clarify the specific cause of the disease, and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor, so as to avoid delaying the condition. In addition, the above drugs should also be used under the guidance of a doctor.
