How do lumbar spine infectious lesions come about?

The occurrence of lumbar spine infection lesions will cause many impacts on the human body, and may even cause the patient to experience low back pain, swelling, soreness, and a feeling of tiredness in the waist, but this can be relieved after rest. There are many factors that cause lumbar spine infection lesions. We need to understand the causes first, and then understand some of the disease's pathogenesis.

Causes and symptoms

Lumbar disc degeneration is the basic cause of lumbar disc herniation. Lumbar degeneration can cause decreased lumbar flexibility and mobility, making it prone to lesions. Strain and trauma can also lead to lumbar spine diseases. People who work in a sitting position for a long time or do heavy physical labor may suffer from severe pressure on the intervertebral disc due to long-term excessive load, which may cause rupture of the lumbar annulus fibrosus and cause nucleus pulposus herniation.

Lumbar disc herniation is a more serious type of lumbar disc herniation. Because the protruding volume of the nucleus pulposus has exceeded the connection part, the protrusion will cause movement in the spinal canal and compress nerves and other tissues. Typical symptoms include lumbar pain that radiates along the posterior buttocks, posterior and lateral thighs, and lateral calf to the heel or dorsum of the foot. It worsens when abdominal pressure increases due to coughing, sneezing, defecation, etc., and after standing or walking for a long time, and is relieved after resting in bed.

Lumbar disc herniation can easily lead to paralysis

Lumbar disc herniation is a very serious lumbar disc disease. The movement of the herniated material in the spinal canal can easily compress the nerves and cause severe low back pain, lower limb pain and numbness and other symptoms. If the prolapsed material is not treated in time, it may separate from the ruptured lumbar vertebra and move freely in the spinal canal. Most patients may have a limp gait.
