Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease, the current medical conditions and levels have reached a high level in diagnosis and treatment, and there are many effective treatment methods, but there are many misconceptions about the diagnosis and treatment of lumbar disc herniation. One of the misconceptions: back and leg pain is not considered a disease According to statistics, about 95% of people have experienced back 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 and leg 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. Myth No. 2: Low back and leg pain cannot be cured. Lumbar disc herniation is characterized by easy recurrence, especially for those with neurological dysfunction, and a long 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 No. 3: superstition in a certain method. There are two types of treatment for lumbar disc herniation, surgical and non-surgical. The latter has traction, physiotherapy, 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 examination, and not to exaggerate one-sidedly, superstitiously, or subjectively resist a certain therapy. Myth No. 4: Blind surgery or refusal of surgery. 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 about surgery: one is blind surgery and the other is refusal of surgery. The former believes that only surgery can eradicate lumbar disc herniation. In fact, the indications for surgery for lumbar disc herniation are very strict, and surgery is not the first choice for lumbar disc herniation treatment. Patients who refuse surgery amplify the negative effects such as nerve damage caused by surgery and believe that surgery is resolutely not possible, while conservative treatment is preferred. It should be said that some patients with surgical indications can have their main symptoms relieved after conservative treatment, but there are always some symptoms left behind that are difficult to improve, while most patients with surgical indications cannot be replaced by any conservative therapy and must receive surgical treatment, and the earlier the better, otherwise, the loss of neurological function may become permanent, resulting in the loss of a recoverable time for surgery and lifelong disability. Therefore, the issue of surgery and conservative should be treated discriminately, and neither surgery nor conservative should be taken lightly.
