Lumbar disc herniation can cause stomach pain, but the incidence is less, because the main incidence of lumbar disc herniation is lumbar 4/5 and lumbar 5 sacral 1. Lumbar disc herniation in the lower lumbar region is very common, and its symptoms are mainly in the lumbar region and legs.
If the lumbar disc herniation in lumbar 1 or lumbar 2 is high, there is a possibility of pain in the lower abdomen when there is compression of the nerves, because the nerves emanating from lumbar 1 and lumbar 2 make up the iliohypogastric and iliohypogastric nerves, because this nerve is the one that innervates the lower abdomen. It is possible to cause pain in the lower abdomen, but clinically it is very rare.
If abdominal pain occurs, it is also necessary to distinguish it from some abdominal diseases, such as gastrointestinal diseases, urinary tract diseases or vascular diseases, in order to avoid misdiagnosis.
In addition, if lumbar disc herniation is diagnosed, it should be treated as early as possible, and care should be taken in daily life to avoid stooping and weight-bearing, and over-exertion. After the symptoms are relieved, the lumbar muscles should be strengthened to improve the stability of the lumbar spine.
