Is lumbar disc herniation paralyzing?

Will lumbar disc herniation cause paralysis?

For lumbar disc herniation, the symptoms vary according to the severity. If a patient has lumbar disc herniation and the condition is severe to a certain extent, it may lead to paralysis, but not all patients will be paralyzed, nor will they be paralyzed directly as long as the condition is severe, because in addition to this, depending on the degree of deterioration of the patient's condition and the patient's own specific physical fitness, it may only be incontinence. This is also possible.

To avoid paralysis due to lumbar disc herniation, the most important thing is to control the patient's condition in a timely manner. Other treatment methods, such as surgical treatment, can also be used appropriately, but this is not the best treatment method. The patient's treatment measures need to be considered to a certain extent. The recurrence and accumulation of lumbar disc herniation are also very large.

One thing patients need to pay attention to is that in daily life, they can consider paying proper attention to details, such as standing for a long time, sitting for a long time, carrying weight, bending over for a long time, sitting too low, trying to avoid lumbar sprains, and whether to sleep on a soft bed, etc. These measures must be avoided.

Moreover, patients can consider sleeping on a hard bed when they rest. When lying on the bed, they can put a small pillow under their waist to control the height and avoid discomfort within their ability. They can also walk backwards or do some small movements of "lifting both ends". In this way, the lumbar muscles can be exercised to prevent the recurrence of the disease. In daily life, we should also pay attention to exercising with the method of hanging on the horizontal bar. Don't bend over when you want to lift heavy objects. The correct posture is to squat first, then pick up the heavy object, and then slowly get up.

If you suffer from lumbar disc herniation, to avoid the possibility of paralysis, there are many things that patients need to pay attention to in some treatment methods and daily life. They should also choose a treatment method that suits the patient themselves to cooperate with the treatment. Pay more attention to rest and keep your waist warm. Try to avoid the possibility of colds. Don't do some bending or too hard work. Adhere to treatment and choose the correct treatment plan to avoid paralysis.
