How long to stop taking oral medications after minimally invasive lumbar disc herniation surgery

Oral medications are usually discontinued for 3 months after minimally invasive surgery for herniated lumbar discs. Minimally invasive surgical techniques for lumbar disc herniation have resulted in minimizing the damage of the surgery and achieving good results. After the minimally invasive surgery, medicines that activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as Shujiweiqi Tablets, can be given, and medicines that nourish the nerves, such as Mecobalamin Tablets and Vitamin B12, also need to be taken to consolidate the therapeutic effect, in order to promote a good recovery of the lumbar nerve function. These drugs can promote the recovery of nerve function and soft tissue. Generally, it takes 3 months to stop the medication, which is conducive to the reduction of postoperative symptoms and the smooth passing of the recovery period. The above medicines for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis and nourishing nerves need to be taken under the guidance of doctors, and should not be used on their own.
