Lumbar protrusion patients are cautious of coolness in summer

With the arrival of three days, Guangzhou into the hot and humid summer mode, many residents can not help but open the big air conditioning cool, however, the summer because of the cool lumbar disc herniation recurrence of many patients. Remind the majority of old patients with back pain, temperature fluctuations are easy to cause lumbar disc herniation recurrence, so the summer with the air conditioning should pay attention to do not “cool”, so as to avoid small back pain dragged into big trouble. Improper use of air conditioning caused lumbar bursts of lumbago, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder and other spinal disorders will only be aggravated in a cold, humid environment. Summer is a low season, but recently there are a lot of people to run to the hospital. Open beauty salon Phoenix, the past few days lumbar pain attack, sitting is not, lying is not, she said the old lumbar disc herniation and attack, but the beauty salon is not enough manpower, so can not not do, obviously feel the waist can not squat, and the legs feel a little numb. She said it might be related to being sedentary in an air-conditioned room. In the summer, in order to achieve the purpose of cool, many people turn on the air conditioning temperature is very low, long time cold wind stimulation easily lead to lumbar muscle spasm, small blood vessel contraction, thus making the local blood circulation decrease, will affect the nutritional supply of the intervertebral discs, intervertebral discs within the pressure rises, resulting in more injuries, the lumbar fatigue of sitting for a long time, coupled with the room temperature is too low, too cool and other factors are very easy to trigger the lumbar dorsal muscle and intervertebral disc disease relapse . The use of air conditioning, need to beware of cervical and lumbar spondylosis. Especially in the sleep state, the human body is in a state of relaxation, the function of the system temporarily decline, if the air conditioning temperature is too low or directly blowing fan environment to sleep, it is easy to develop. Therefore, patients with lumbar protrusion, summer should also pay attention to lumbar warmth. Lumbar pain with foot numbness is a typical symptom of lumbar herniation clinically, there are many people have this idea: as long as the lumbar pain is thought to be lumbar disc herniation. Not have back pain is lumbar disc herniation, many times the back pain, often caused by other problems. Excessive exercise, lumbar muscle strain, kidney disease, etc. may appear as a symptom of low back pain. From the orthopedic point of view, the source of low back pain can be roughly divided into three kinds: muscle, bone or nerve-induced low back pain, to determine whether it is lumbar disc herniation caused by low back pain, first of all, we must first rule out whether the muscle and bone-induced low back pain. Muscle-induced low back pain is mostly due to excessive muscle strain, especially for those who are often sedentary, or exercise in the wrong way, which can easily cause muscle strain in the lumbar region, leading to the symptoms of low back pain. And there are also a lot of low back pain caused by bone causes, such as bone protrusion wear inflammation, ankylosing spondylitis and osteoporosis. However, clinically, many people assume that they have a herniated disc and do not undergo further screening. Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease, due to the herniated intervertebral disc tissue long-term compression of the nerves, which can cause lower limb pain, numbness, acidity, coldness, weakness, and urinary and bowel anomalies, and in severe cases, even lead to paralysis of the lower limbs. Therefore, people with “lumbar protrusion”, even if it is a minor symptom, lumbar pain often due to nerve compression affects the limbs, lower limbs have obvious radiating pain, numbness or weakness of the hands and feet, you can go to the regular hospital to do a lumbar CT, MRI examination, in order to early diagnosis of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Reminder of the three indications before the need for surgical treatment According to the survey, 80% of patients with lumbar herniation can be treated conservatively, acupuncture, massage, and Chinese herbal medicine paste, these are commonly used methods that can play a role in relieving pain. However, there are still 20% of patients for whom conservative treatment is ineffective and surgical intervention is required. Whether or not to surgical treatment, to see if it meets these three indications: 1, if in the non-surgical treatment within 3 months, the situation of low back pain or can not be relieved or frequent recurrence of low back pain, or low back pain symptoms are more serious has affected the work and life, we should consider undergoing surgical treatment; 2, limb impact is obvious, the occurrence of muscle weakness, the occurrence of the lower limbs of the atrophy of the lower limbs, low back pain and weakness of the legs and feet, then it indicates irreversible nerve Injury is occurring, must be the sooner the better surgery; 3, lumbar pain and incontinence, it is obvious lumbar spinal nerve injury has occurred symptoms, then must be salvage surgical treatment. Many patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis are afraid of surgery at the mention of surgery, thinking that open surgery is risky, so they hold the mentality that they can put it off as long as they can. With the continuous progress of medicine, the treatment of lumbar disc herniation, do lumbar laminectomy minimally invasive surgery is currently one of the best treatment methods, only need local anesthesia, the patient usually can be discharged from the hospital the next day after surgery. “If the test results show that the condition meets the indications for surgery, it is important to receive minimally invasive treatment in a timely manner, never delay again and again, otherwise the lower limbs will be paralyzed, and surgical resuscitation will be useless”.
