What to eat after lumbar disc herniation surgery

During the postoperative recovery period, patients are generally advised to appropriately enhance nutrition, eat more fish, shrimp, beef, eggs, milk, lean meat, etc., supplement protein, vitamins and calcium, and promote recovery. Due to the stress response in the early stage of surgery, gastrointestinal function will decline. If the diet is too greasy and indigestion occurs, it will cause gastrointestinal dysfunction and affect nutritional intake and surgical recovery. Pay attention to supplementing calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and vitamin B. Patients with lumbar disc herniation rehabilitation exercises can also exercise the strength of their back muscles through swimming, flat support, etc. Patients are advised to eat more nutritious, light and easy to digest, high-protein, and high-calcium foods in their daily lives, such as chicken soup, pork rib soup, kelp shrimp, soy products, lean meat, etc. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to supplement nutrition, and do not eat cold, spicy, greasy, irritating foods, or barbecue foods.

For exercise for lumbar disc herniation, the first thing is to avoid excessive strain on the waist muscles. In real life, sitting time should not be too long. It is generally recommended to get up and move around after about 40 minutes. The main movement directions of the waist are flexion, extension and lateral flexion, which can effectively relieve the waist muscles. For patients with lumbar disc herniation, the following exercise methods can be adopted during rehabilitation: In the early stage of rehabilitation, patients can first do some functional exercises in bed. Lumbar disc herniation and sciatica Lumbar disc herniation compresses the nerve roots on both sides, and the buttocks and lower limbs are painful or numb along the sciatic nerve. The second point is that there is also low back pain and lower limb pain. This time it must be lumbar disc herniation. Another situation is lumbar spinal canal problems. Tuberculosis, tumors, and growths can also cause low back pain, and can also cause lower limb pain. It is just that conservative treatment based on lumbar disc herniation is completely ineffective. How to identify it is very simple. As long as the lumbar spine magnetic resonance imaging is performed, these two diseases can be eliminated. If it really doesn't work, you should choose surgical treatment, a minimally invasive perforaminal endoscopic surgery, to remove the intervertebral disc that compresses the nerve root or ablate it through radiofrequency ablation. The nerve root will not be compressed and the sciatica can be solved.
