At what age do herniated lumbar discs tend to occur?

The cause of lumbar disc herniation is not yet clear, but it usually occurs in young adults between the ages of 20 and 50, and in middle-aged and older adults over the age of 50. The cause of lumbar disc herniation is not yet clear, but it may be related to factors such as long-term weight bearing or disc degeneration. Due to work, young adults between the ages of 20 and 50 who have been overloaded and overworked for a long period of time may experience a herniated lumbar disc due to the gradual increase in pressure within the lumbar discs, resulting in the gradual degeneration of the annulus fibrosus. Middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old, due to the gradual loss of water in the intervertebral discs, degeneration of the intervertebral discs may lead to a decrease in the ability of the lumbar intervertebral discs to absorb stress and withstand stress, thus resulting in the occurrence of lumbar disc herniation. Patients who have lumbar disc herniation should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid discomfort to the body caused by delayed condition.
