Why does lumbar disc herniation occur repeatedly?

When treating lumbar disc herniation, many patients think that as long as the lumbar pain symptoms no longer occur, the disease is cured. In fact, this understanding itself is wrong, because pain relief for lumbar disc herniation is only a temporary treatment method. If the herniated lumbar vertebra cannot be repositioned, recurrence of lumbar disc herniation is possible at any time. However, lumbar disc herniation will only recur under certain conditions. You can read this article to learn why lumbar disc herniation recurs.

1. Failure to keep warm in cold and humid seasons allows wind, cold and dampness to invade the affected parts of the human body. Coupled with fatigue, it can easily lead to repeated attacks of lumbar disc herniation.

2. Although the nucleus pulposus of the segment has been removed after the operation, the stability of the spine above and below the segment is poor after the operation. Therefore, the intervertebral disc above and below the surgical segment is prone to prolapse, which is the cause of repeated attacks of lumbar disc herniation.

3. After treatment of lumbar disc herniation, although the symptoms have basically disappeared, the nucleus pulposus of many patients is not completely returned. It is just that the degree of compression on the nerve roots is relieved, or the adhesion to the nerve roots is released.

4. Although the condition of patients with lumbar disc herniation has stabilized or recovered, within a short period of time, once they are tired or sprained in the waist, the nucleus pulposus may protrude again, excessive load, or failure to promptly and correctly treat the trauma. This is also the reason why lumbar disc herniation recurs.

After the treatment, everyone should participate in appropriate physical exercise every day, avoid strenuous activities frequently, pay attention to the combination of work and rest at work, maintain correct posture, and avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time. Usually pay attention to your waist and avoid getting cold or damp. If you pay attention to maintenance and prevention in daily life, lumbar disc herniation will not recur.

This article has made a detailed analysis of the reasons for the recurrence of lumbar disc herniation. After knowing that these reasons can lead to the recurrence of lumbar disc herniation, I hope that all patients will pay attention and try to avoid the above-mentioned things in daily life. And pay attention to protecting your lumbar spine. Be sure to pay attention to the intensity of physical exercise. Only in this way can the possibility of recurrence of lumbar disc herniation be avoided as much as possible. I hope patients understand.
