What is the difference between a herniated lumbar disc and a bulging disc?

Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation and bulging are different in the degree of the disease, ** the method is basically the same, and the bulge is herniated after it is severe.

In general, medication or physical therapy only provides temporary pain relief, and after a period of time**. Nan TongyuThe experience shared is mainly to achieve rapid pain relief and improve clinical symptoms through simple exercises.

In general, lumbar disc herniation and lumbar disc bulge are mainly distinguished by imaging examination. The two are diseases of the same nature, and they are also roughly the same above. In this case, if the use of drugs is ineffective, the symptoms can be improved through physical factors, traditional Chinese medicine and training.

And pay attention to the care of the lumbar spine, do not do strenuous exercise, avoid bending over, etc.

Not necessarily, it mainly depends on whether it is squeezed into the nerve root or vertebral artery blood vessels.

Lumbar disc bulge refers to the reduction of the elasticity of part of the fibrous ring of the intervertebral disc and the formation of a protrusion to the periphery, but the fiber is still intact. Prominence is a partial rupture of the annulus fibrous with outward protrusion or detachment of nucleus pulposus material. So in terms of nature, bulge is the early performance, and the prominence is the late performance.

In terms of symptoms, bulging is mostly asymptomatic, or low back discomfort is the mainstay. After protrusion, it is often accompanied by symptoms of the corresponding parts, such as nerve symptoms of the lower limbs. Is it okay to put it that way?

There are three symptoms of lumbar disc herniation: bulging, herniation and prolapse, lower back pain, and radiating pain in the lower limbs are the main characteristics, so is there any difference between herniated disc and herniation?

Bulging and protrusion both belong to the range of lumbar disc herniation, there is a certain degree of difference between the two, for example, the lumbar disc is like a tin box can, the outside is the fibrous ring, the inside is the nucleus pulposus. If the can is swollen, but not broken, and the contents of the can do not leak out, this is bulging. But if the canned box is broken, there is a crack, and the contents come out, which is protruding.

What's more, it means that the crack is relatively large, and a lot of things flow out of it, and it can't be put back, which is called getting out. Therefore, there are three types of lumbar disc herniation according to the degree, mild is bulging, moderate is protruding, and severe friend destruction is prolapse.

Lumbar disc herniation is classified into four types according to severity.

The first is the bulging type, which is the lightest; Then there is the protruding type, which is more common, followed by the prolapse line, this protrusion is more serious, and falling into the spinal canal has caused the corresponding card family tease and pressure symptoms. The fourth free type, the free type is the most serious one, which is a herniated disc that falls into the spinal canal and causes spinal stenosis, which is an indication for emergency surgery. Lumbar disc bulge is the lightest type of lumbar disc, so there are often no symptoms, and even if the patient is detected, there is no need for special **.

You can properly strengthen the training of the lumbar back muscles, mainly static muscles and dynamic muscles, so that it can achieve a strong and stable state.

Lumbar disc bulge see orthopedic or mega spine surgery. Among them, spine surgery is a branch of orthopedics, and if you go to a tertiary hospital, you must hang the number of spine surgery. If some county-level hospitals or township-level hospitals below the county-level hospital do not have the specialty of spine surgery, then they must be hung in general orthopedics.

At present, lumbar disc herniation can only be symptomatic according to the different conditions of the patient**, and there is no best**. This is like osteoporosis, there is no specific medicine at present, and different methods can only be used according to the condition, the same is true for lumbar disc herniation, some patients are bulging, some are protruding, and some are prolapsed, so it can only be symptomatic**, and the lumbar disc herniation ** system is two, one is conservative**, and the other is surgery**. However, more than 95% of patients can obtain satisfactory results through conservative **, but the other 5% are stubborn and can only be solved by surgery**.
