Description: Male 47 years old, back pain in 2010, CT, MRI, L5/S1 lumbar disc herniation, prolapse (possible calcification), spinal stenosis, lumbar 5 sacral 1 vertebral endplate inflammation. Conservative treatment: acupuncture, massage, exercise, etc. Over the past 4 years, he gradually recovered from limp and left leg numbness to tolerable intermittent lumbar and leg pain, and his daily life was fine, and he never put on weight during that period, but he felt that he had never recovered. A few days ago, the pain in the left leg increased as a result of accidental weight-bearing, which was slightly lighter when standing upright and walking, but very painful when lying down, and I could not sleep at night. The MRI was done again and the description was as follows: 1. mild hyperplasia of some vertebral edges of the lumbar spine; laminitis of the adjacent vertebral edges of L5/S1. 2. degeneration of the L4/5 and L5/S1 intervertebral discs and L5/S1 bulge, compression of the dural sac, narrowing of the spinal canal and lateral saphenous fossa. By the beginning of 14, libido declined, erection was difficult, and erection at night was not much, but there is still, now six months without successful intercourse, and no seminal emission. I have no problems with urination and defecation, and my life is basically not affected except for the numbness in my left leg and part of my foot. The lumbar disc herniation, not only accompanied by lumbar pain, leg numbness, in fact, many people also accompanied by sexual dysfunction, and for the Chinese this is difficult to say, many people choose to hide the disease, alone to endure the distress, and bear the disharmony of family life. Many people appear above the situation, the first thing that comes to mind is their “kidney deficiency”, eat a bunch of tonic, no effect, wasted money, and even bad body. In fact, the impact of a herniated lumbar disc on sex life is based on clear medical science. There are two main aspects: 1, the nerves that control sexual function are emitted from the lumbar region, and the nerves that are in charge of sexual function are inevitably affected by a herniated disc, leading to impotence, premature ejaculation and other symptoms in male patients, and possible sexual apathy in women. 2, a herniated lumbar disc, which produces back pain and leg pain, can affect lumbar movement and have an impact on sexual life satisfaction. In addition, many people respond that after a lumbar disc herniation, there is delayed urination, incomplete urination, accompanied by constipation and other abnormalities in urination and defecation, which is also caused by the lumbar disc compressing the nerves that control urination and defecation. The longer the nerve is compressed, the worse the function will be, even if the compression is lifted later, the recovery effect will not be good. The above friend has been delayed for more than a year, and the effect of treatment is definitely not as good as when it was first discovered. Finally, I would like to say to the majority of friends, lumbar disc protrusion in the prevention, the most important point is to sit in a sitting phase, to sit straight; at the same time to avoid sedentary, every 45 minutes sitting standing activities for 5 minutes, you can stay away from back pain. If there is a lumbar disc herniation, you should not be ashamed to take the liberty of dealing with it, but should promptly consult a spine specialist to explain their details, clear diagnosis and treatment, so as not to delay the disease.
