Lumbar spinal stenosis: lumbar spinal stenosis is caused by hypertrophy and hyperplasia of the ligamentum flavum, bulging and protruding intervertebral discs, bony degeneration and other causes of the lumbar spine, central canal, neural root canal, or the lateral fossa of narrowing, so that the cauda equina nerve, the peripheral nerve roots and other compression, a series of symptoms, which is the most common when bending down and pain, but also can be accompanied by urinary and fecal dysfunction and other symptoms.
