Generally, after lumbar disc herniation surgery, hospitalization can be discharged in about 7-10 days. After surgery, we should observe the healing of the surgical incision, such as observing whether there is redness and swelling of the incision, whether there is exudate from the incision, whether there is pressure pain around the incision, and if we encounter infection in the surgical incision, we must change the medication early to clear the wound, as well as use sensitive antibiotics for treatment. In addition, in lumbar disc herniation surgery, although the pressure-causing material has been lifted, but the nerve root edema needs some time to subside, so after surgery, there may still be radioactive pain and numbness in the lower limbs, so it is necessary to carry out 7-10 days of observation after surgery, if the numbness and pain symptoms are heavy, you can also use appropriate drugs for nerve root decongestion treatment.
