Can a herniated lumbar disc herniation be absorbed?

It is possible for a herniated lumbar disc protrusion to absorb. In lumbar disc herniation, the protrusion can be the annulus fibrosus, nucleus pulposus, cartilaginous plate, or a mixture of all three of these structures. The main cause of lumbar disc herniation is degenerative changes in the intervertebral disc, which refers to partial or total rupture of the annulus fibrosus, which leads to posterior protrusion of the nucleus pulposus or even the cartilaginous plate, which can cause narrowing of the spinal canal and compression of the spinal cord, nerve roots, cauda equina, and vertebrae, resulting in symptoms such as low back pain, abnormal sensation in the saddle area, and scoliosis. In some patients with lumbar disc herniation, after medication such as meloxicam, glucocorticosteroids, and chlorzoxazone, the soft tissues such as the annulus fibrosus may be absorbed by the body, thus improving the symptoms such as low back and leg pain; or it may continue to protrude, causing aggravation of the symptoms such as numbness in the lower limbs. Patients with lumbar disc herniation are advised to seek timely medical attention for a clear diagnosis and targeted treatment. In addition, all of the above drugs should be taken under the guidance of a doctor and should not be used without authorization.
