The lumbar dorsal muscles are one of the important structures that maintain the stability of the lumbar spine. Lumbar back muscle atrophy is characterized by lumbar muscle collapse, lumbar pain and discomfort, dysfunction and sexual dysfunction.
1. Lumbar muscle collapse: muscle collapse will affect the entire lumbar strength, patients may not be able to stand on their own, walking difficulties, and even some patients will have difficulty in sitting, patients can only take the lying position.
2. Lumbar pain and discomfort: such as lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, fasciitis of the lumbar back muscles, lumbar muscle strain, etc. may directly or indirectly stimulate the nerve roots, which will lead to the atrophy of the lumbar back muscles over time, resulting in pain and discomfort.
3. Dysfunction of bowel movement: lumbar 1-2 nerve innervates the function of bowel movement, and part of lumbar dorsal muscle atrophy will have atrophy of the nerve root. The symptoms are: abnormal bowel movement, constipation, difficulty in urinating or incontinence.
Lumbar dorsal atrophy should be taken seriously by the patient, seek medical treatment as soon as possible to clarify the cause and actively carry out the treatment.
