There is some controversy over whether lumbar disc herniation is hereditary. Most scholars believe that herniated lumbar discs are not hereditary, and that the disease is mainly caused by excessive strain on the low back and degenerative changes in the lumbar spine. Most scholars believe that lumbar disc herniation has no relationship with heredity. However, a small number of scholars have shown that lumbar disc herniation has family aggregation performance, that is, lumbar disc herniation may be related to heredity. It is certain that genetic factors have limited influence on lumbar disc herniation. In addition, the genetic factor of lumbar disc herniation should not be placed in an important position, and the focus should be placed on the prevention of lumbar degeneration and overstrain. This is because the treatment is the same regardless of whether it is genetic or non-genetic, and it is important to avoid excessive lumbar strain or prolonged weight bearing. In daily life, we should pay attention to avoid prolonged sitting or bending, as well as avoid bending to carry heavy objects, and appropriate back exercise, enhance the strength of the lumbar back muscles, enhance the protection of the lumbar spine, and play a role in the prevention of lumbar disc herniation.
