About intervertebral disc herniation or hernia

SHARE WITH FRIENDS:

Not all of us follow the advice of doctors, such as not lifting weights, not over-exerting the body, or not doing strenuous and risky physical activities. As a result of neglecting our health, we are more likely to have serious problems. The development of spinal hernia is one such problem.

It can be caused by:

• increase in intra-abdominal pressure;
• heavy physical labor;
• heavy lifting relative to body weight;
• difficulty in passing urine;
• constipation;
• stress during childbirth in women.

Spinal hernia can be treated conservatively, that is, without medication. At present, the treatment of this disease with the help of water treatments is widely practiced.
The timing of the appearance of the hernia is of great importance. A hernia lasting up to three months is mild, and a hernia lasting three to six months is considered chronic. Attention is also paid to the size of the hernia. If it is less than 9 millimeters, it can be treated without surgical intervention.
The disease is by no means scary and incurable, and can be easily treated if the intervertebral disc herniation is still “new”. Even if surgical intervention is prescribed, there is no need to be afraid. A 15-minute surgical procedure that is not performed on time can turn into a 2-hour difficult operation. Because the blood supply to the organs trapped in the hernia hole is disrupted, the vitality of the organs is compromised due to the crushing of the nerve fibers, and the patient begins to feel pus. In a hernia attack, the pain is persistent and the patient falls into a state of shock. Only emergency surgery can save a patient’s life.

In such cases, the following may not be done:

• try not to stand in places with bumps and bumps;
• control your body weight, do not gain weight;
• engage in gymnastics (e.g., swimming) that strengthens the back and abdominal muscles;
• if you work sitting, walk for 10 minutes every hour;
• keep your height straight while walking and sitting;
• get used to sleeping on a firm mattress;
• try not to read a book or watch TV while lying down;
• do not lift heavy, avoid sudden movements.
• vibromassage is not possible because its power is too high.
• The area where the hernia is should not be rubbed hard. There is a risk of squeezing the nerve fibers.
• It is also harmful to perform various exercises while standing in a vertical position. Muscles can be tensed.
• don't massage as much as you know!
• it is not always possible to rub a pain-relieving ointment!

The disease occurs in three stages, our advice is to consult a doctor with the following symptoms:

• In the first stage of the disease, the size of the hernia is 2-3 mm. will be. Gives severe pain throughout the spine.
• In the second stage, the disease is characterized by constant pain. Size 8-15 mm. will be.
• In the third stage, the pain is very intense and also affects the nervous system. Makes the patient unable to walk.
