Do you need surgery for a herniated lumbar disc?

Patients with lumbar disc herniation do not always require surgery, and patients are reliably treated surgically in the following cases 1. Those with neurological disorders of urination and defecation. In such cases, surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible and should not be delayed for too long. 2.After a long period of strict systematic non-surgical treatment, the symptoms are not relieved and seriously affect work and life. 3.Acute trauma-induced lumbar disc herniation, with nerve root compression confirmed by MRI and showing severe nerve compression symptoms. 4.Significant symptoms, after a long period of time, strict systematic conservative treatment is ineffective, and the nerve root compression is confirmed by MRI with bone spur or nucleus pulposus detachment formation. 5.Patients with heavy symptoms, long duration of disease, frequent attacks after non-surgical treatment, and patients who are unwilling to accept non-surgical treatment because of long-term back and leg pain torment. Clinically, there are many hospitals that blindly expand the indications for surgery for the sake of economic benefits, thus causing many patients who do not need surgery to receive surgical treatment.
