Postoperative care for lumbar disc herniation

Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation after surgery need to be vigilant recurrence, so the care is particularly important, mainly divided into the following aspects; 1, rehabilitation exercise: strengthen the lumbar back muscle function exercise. After the lumbar back muscle function is strengthened, the pressure of the intervertebral disc will inevitably reduce, and the probability of recurrence is relatively low after the pressure of the intervertebral disc is reduced; 2, change the posture of life and work: avoid sitting for a long time, avoid keeping a posture for too long, including taking things also need to have the correct posture; 3, avoid the increase of abdominal pressure: in this process, we need to avoid the factors that lead to the increase of abdominal pressure, such as controlling the chronic cough, because the cough also causes the increase of abdominal pressure, and the increase of abdominal pressure can lead to the increase of abdominal pressure. cause increased abdominal pressure, increased abdominal pressure will cause the disc to herniate again. At the same time, constipation should also be better controlled, patients should eat more crude fiber foods, fruits, in order to promote normal defecation. This is because constipation will also cause increased abdominal pressure, which will easily cause the disc to herniate again. Post-operative rehabilitation requires a combination of diet, life and exercise. Functional exercise of the lumbar back muscles, i.e. plank support, is the foundation of everything, because plank support can train the core muscles of the lumbar back muscles, which is very important for stabilizing the lumbar spine. At the same time, small swallow fly and arch bridge exercise is also very important for the exercise of low back muscles. Strong lumbar back muscles are very beneficial for preventing the recurrence of herniated discs, not only for the stabilization of the lumbar back muscles, but also for improving the patient’s symptoms.
