The date of university freshman registration is coming up, and Xiao Gao, who is about to enter the university, has finally been relieved of his pain and straightened up again, ready to put into the new study life. But three months ago, Xiao Gao once playing basketball sprained the lumbar spine, the left lower extremity obvious radiating pain along with lumbago, the heaviest time even the spine is bent to the right, bending very difficult. Because of the delay in studying for the college entrance examination, Xiao Gao went through infusion and pain medication, the pain was relieved and finally persisted until the end of the college entrance examination. Subsequently, Xiao Gao came to our hospital and was diagnosed with “lumbar disc herniation”. After the minimally invasive surgery, the pain that had tormented Xiao Gao for 3 months disappeared. When it comes to “lumbar disc herniation”, people think of it as a middle-aged disease, but this disease is not uncommon among teenagers. The incidence of lumbar disc herniation has been rising rapidly in recent years, with a tendency to lighten, and sports injury to the lumbar spine is one of the main causes. It has been reported in the literature that among the cases of lumbar disc herniation, 1/3 of the patients had a history of trauma and more than 1/2 of them had participated in more prolonged physical labor or sports, especially the younger the age of the patients, the more likely they were to be injured due to intense sports. A doctor’s survey also found that among young and middle-aged women suffering from lumbar spine diseases, about 20% of them had practiced yoga. The intervertebral disc is located between the vertebrae, surrounded by a flexible and tough fibrous ring, and the central “nucleus pulposus”. The intervertebral disc lacks direct blood and nutrient supply, is highly mobile, and is responsible for 80% of the body’s weight, so the nucleus pulposus begins to age at age 20 and the annulus fibrosus begins to age after age 30, and its elasticity and ability to resist pressure decreases. If the posture of lumbar activities is improper or excessive force is exerted, the posterior part of the fibrous ring can become fissured from the inside out, resulting in the protrusion or prolapse of the nucleus pulposus and compression of the posterior nerve root, causing symptoms. The peak age of onset of lumbar disc herniation is between about 40 years old. Although young people are physically strong and flexible, activities beyond a certain limit or improper posture may still cause injury. Lumbar disc herniation in adolescents is most often induced by injury during strenuous physical activity. When the lumbar spine is loaded and rotates rapidly, the intervertebral disc fibrous ring is most likely to cause damage. In addition, there is a relationship with congenital developmental abnormalities such as congenital spinal stenosis, lumbar scoliosis, and lumbosacral migrating vertebrae. Lumbar disc herniation has a greater impact on the work, study and life of adolescents, and in severe cases even loss of labor force. Therefore, adolescents should be selected according to their physical condition when performing more intense exercises and do enough preparatory exercises, and white-collar workers who work in a fixed posture for a long time should raise their awareness of self-care and move their bodies appropriately. At present, the treatment of lumbar disc herniation is very mature, once diagnosed with the disease, should quickly go to a regular hospital to receive treatment. If the standard conservative treatment does not work well for a period of time, or if nerve damage has already occurred, minimally invasive surgery can be adopted. The vast majority of patients are able to resume a normal life again.
