How long after surgery can a patient with a herniated lumbar disc hold a baby, this can not be generalized, it needs to be analyzed specifically depending on the type of surgery taken by the patient. For example, minimally invasive surgery is after 1 month. Traditional surgery is 3 months later. 1. Minimally invasive surgery: patients with lumbar disc herniation can have lumbar pain, accompanied by lower extremity radiating pain and numbness, minimally invasive surgical treatment can be taken, often taken to clinical radiofrequency ablation for treatment, post-operative anti-inflammatory and anti-emphysema treatments, the clinical effect is obvious, fast recovery, 1 month after the appropriate weight training, at this time, you can hold the child with both hands. 2. Traditional surgery: such as intervertebral disc removal, intervertebral disc implant fusion treatment, this surgery is slow to recover, about 3 months before you can go down to the ground properly weight-bearing, before you can hold the child. If you are suffering from lumbar disc herniation and have any discomfort, it is recommended that you consult a doctor in time to avoid delaying your condition.
