After puberty, degenerative changes in body tissues are inevitable, and everyone who is concerned about his or her health should have a general understanding of the correct treatment awareness they should have when dealing with specific diseases. The lumbar disc herniation is now a common disease, and with the current medical conditions and levels, the diagnosis and treatment have reached a high level, and there are many effective treatment methods, but there are many misconceptions about the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Misconception 1: Consider lumbar pain not a disease and ignore treatment. According to statistics, more than 95% of people have experienced lumbar and leg pain in their lifetime. The diseases that cause low back pain can involve almost all systems of the body. Some of the primary diseases of low back pain disappear when they are cured, and some of them are not cured by themselves. Some patients therefore believe that low back pain is not a disease. In fact, low back and leg pain caused by lumbar disc herniation is not only considered a disease, but also must be given great attention. Because this disease can not only cause back and leg pain, but also cause lower limb numbness, weakness, and even paralysis and urinary disorders, seriously affecting the quality of life. Misconception two: think that lumbar pain can not be cured, do not insist on treatment. Lumbar disc herniation is characterized by easy recurrence, especially for those with neurological dysfunction, and a longer repair process. Therefore, some patients and even some professional doctors think that lumbar disc herniation cannot be cured. In fact, the overall effect of lumbar disc herniation treatment is very good, about 90% effective. There are two reasons for the so-called bad cure: one is the improper choice of method, and the other is the lack of adherence to treatment. Some patients heard where there is a new treatment to go where to cure, there as long as not surgery to go there, but where can not adhere to, ultimately is running a lot of places, the effect is not very satisfactory. Misconception three: superstition a method, deep into the treatment “trap”. There are two types of treatment for lumbar disc herniation, surgical and non-surgical. The latter has traction, physical therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, massage, internal and external medicine, which should be able to cure some patients, but which can not cure all patients, and even in some cases, certain therapies are contraindicated. The most basic treatment is bed rest, especially in the acute phase. Therefore, the correct attitude is to choose the specific treatment suitable for each patient according to the clinical symptoms, signs, duration of the disease, and imaging examinations, and not to exaggerate one-sidedly, superstitiously, or subjectively resist a certain therapy. Myth 4: Blind surgery or refusal to operate. Most patients with lumbar disc herniation can be relieved or cured by non-surgical treatment, but there are still some patients who need surgical treatment. There are two diametrically opposed misconceptions when it comes to this issue of surgery: 1. Blind surgery, believing that only surgery can eradicate it, and thus surgical treatment without choice. This not only increases the unnecessary economic burden, but also increases the chance of “lumbar spine surgery failure syndrome”. For example, a construction boss, back and leg pain for one month, lumbar spine CT found three herniated discs, asked the doctor to operate on the herniated discs, the postoperative effect is not good. He was operated again, still not good, and developed a failed surgery syndrome, leaving weakness in both feet, limping, and incontinence. In fact, this patient could have been treated completely conservatively, both clinically and without serious complications. In fact, the indications for surgery for lumbar disc herniation are very strict, and surgery is not the first choice. 2. Rejecting surgery and amplifying the negative effects such as nerve damage caused by surgery, considering surgery as resolutely undoable. For example, an internist suffering from lumbar disc herniation had already developed foot drop (foot dragging) still refused to operate until one day he became incontinent and then he was operated in an emergency. However, because the nerve compression was too long, the foot-dragging gait remained after the surgery, although the bowel function was restored. It should be said that a small number of patients must be treated surgically, and the sooner the better, otherwise the loss of nerve function may become permanent. Therefore, the issue of surgery and conservative should be treated discriminately, and neither surgery nor conservative should be taken lightly. In short, the general principle of lumbar disc herniation is: if you can be conservative, do not intervene; if you can intervene, do not operate; if you must operate, operate as early as possible. The scientific treatment of lumbar herniation big inventory: It can be seen, in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation strategy level, ordinary patients have a lot of doubts and blind spots, that specific issues are to be noted, and in the actual treatment, abandon the self error consciousness, scientific with professional treatment: 1, active formal treatment. After being diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation, go to a regular hospital for active treatment and choose the treatment method carefully. 2, pay attention to bed rest. Resting on a hard bed is the most basic treatment measure to reduce the pressure on the intervertebral disc. Especially at the beginning of the disease and during the treatment, the joint ligaments are more relaxed, inflammation is heavy, if the rest is not good may aggravate the disease. 3, first choose conservative treatment. Conservative treatment is the preferred treatment for lumbar disc herniation, and about 5% of the total number of patients with lumbar disc herniation really need surgery. The vast majority of patients can be cured by conservative treatment. 4. Do not rely solely on internal or external medication. Drugs can help eliminate inflammation and reduce symptoms, but it is difficult to induce displacement of the herniated material. 5. Do not take or inject hormonal drugs continuously for a long time. Excessive application of hormonal drugs can lead to osteoporosis, obesity, susceptibility to infection, etc. In heavy cases, it can lead to necrosis of the femoral head, diabetes, hypertension, pancreatitis, etc. 6, pay attention to the waist warmth. Avoid catching cold and craving for cold things, do not spend a long time under the air conditioner, lumbar muscle fibrosis and spasm caused by cold in the lumbar region often cause stiffness of the lumbar joints, recurrence of disc herniation, nerve root edema. Due to lumbar muscle damage, blood circulation is poor, the waist is more susceptible to cold than other parts. 7, pay attention to the lumbar activity posture. To prevent the recurrence of lumbar disc herniation, do not do both bending and turning movements, such as sweeping and mopping, bending to carry heavy objects, etc., so as not to accelerate the lesion of the disc and aggravate the pain. Avoid working in one position for a long time at the waist. The lumbar muscles are strong to strengthen the protection of the lumbar spine, which can avoid the recurrence of lumbar disc herniation and fundamentally cure the lumbar disc herniation, such as “swallow” lumbar back muscle exercise. The “flying swallow” lumbar back muscle exercise: prone position, with the abdomen as the fulcrum, limbs and neck backward stretch, adhere to 30 seconds (according to their own endurance adjustment), rest about 10 seconds (no requirements, can set their own), for a complete action, repeated 5 times can be, morning and evening, each one. Do not blindly exercise, some young patients think they are doing rehabilitation exercises, such as single and double bars. Sit-ups, etc., improper exercise is often counterproductive! 8, pay attention to abstain from sex. Kidney gas is actually waist strong. Changes in blood circulation in the lumbosacral region during sex can lead to lumbar muscle ischemia, hypoxia, lumbar movements can have a greater impact on the intervertebral discs. 9, pay attention to diet, not too hot and dry, easy to cause constipation, go to the toilet too hard may also intensify the pain! Some patients think that drinking can activate the blood or something, in fact, it is not, if not control abusive drinking, the consequences are worrying! Usually in the diet, eat more silver fungus, mushrooms and calcium-rich food, such as milk, dairy products, shrimp, kelp, sesame paste, bone broth, soy products, eat often, but also conducive to calcium supplementation, pay attention to the nutritional structure, eat more vegetables and fruits, try to eat less meat and fatty foods, so as not to cause dry stools, bowel movements can lead to aggravation of the disease. 10, there is usually not too unrestrained sneezing, if you want to sneeze at the same time to do abdominal movements, because the abdominal pressure steeply increased, may trigger the protrusion of the lumbar disc! 11, do not blindly traction treatment, because professional traction must take into account the orientation and strength of the problem, if the pain increases in the process of traction, should immediately stop traction! Older people have more lax bones, traction therapy is generally not recommended! 12, the acute attack period as far as possible bed rest, pain period after the relief should also pay attention to appropriate rest, do not overexerted. The pain should not be aggravated.
