A herniated disc, also called a slipped or ruptured disc, is a spinal disorder that can cause discomfort, numbness, or weakness in the back or limbs when the soft inner core of an intervertebral disc protrudes or seeps through the thick outer shell, possibly pressing on adjacent nerves. At Medagg get treated for herniated disc by the best hospitals.
Age: As people age, their discs lose water content and become less flexible, which increases their risk of herniation.
Injury: Herniation of a disc may result from trauma, or an abrupt force applied to the spine.
Lifting: Using improper lifting form or lifting large, heavy objects can make you more vulnerable.
Genetics: A genetic tendency to disc issues may exist in some individuals.
Repetitive Strain: Bending, twisting, or vibrating repeatedly while work or other activities can cause repetitive strain.
Smoking: Smoking raises the risk of herniation and weakens the discs.
Obesity: Carrying extra weight increases the strain on the discs and spine.
Sedentary Lifestyle: Insufficient exercise on a regular basis and weak core muscles may be contributing factors.
Pain: The most common symptom is localized and radiating pain in the area where the herniated disc is located. The intensity of this pain varies.
Numbness or Tingling: Individuals whose body parts are supplied by the injured nerves may feel numb or tingly as a result of a herniated disc.
Numbness or Tingling: Individuals whose body parts are supplied by the injured nerves may feel numb or tingly as a result of a herniated disc.
Sciatica: If the herniation is in the lower back, it will lead to sciatica, characterized by pain, numbness and tingling that radiates down the leg.
Bowel or Bladder Issues: Rarely, a sizable lower back herniated disc may press against the nerves that regulate bowel
Reduced Mobility: Pain and nerve compression might make it difficult for you to move, which has an impact on your everyday routine and quality of life
Muscle Weakness: Nerve pressure can result in muscle weakness, which can make it challenging to carry out specific duties or keep your equilibrium
Bladder or Bowel Dysfunction: In extreme circumstances, a lower back herniated disc may impact the nerves that regulate bladder and bowel function, possibly leading to incontinence.
Permanent Nerve Damage: Prolonged nerve compression will lead to permanent nerve damage.
Chronic Pain: Herniated discs will result in persistent pain that needs to be managed and treated continuously.
Recurrent Herniation: The possibility of repeat herniation in the same or adjacent discs exists even after successful treatment.
Procedure: A discectomy involves the removal of a part of the spine’s injured or herniated intervertebral disc. This lessens discomfort and relieves pressure on the surrounding nerves.
Methods: There are various methods for carrying out a discectomy:
Microdiscectomy: A tiny incision and specialized instruments are used in this minimally invasive procedure, which frequently results in less tissue damage and a quicker recovery.
Open Discectomy: A bigger incision is made in this more conventional method, which improves visualization but may cause a lengthier recovery period.
Anaesthesia: General anaesthesia is commonly used during discectomies, rendering the patient asleep during the process.
Recuperation: Recuperation times vary based on the individual and type of discectomy. While many people are able to resume modest activities in a few weeks, more time may need to be spent away from severe activity.
Risks: A discectomy has some risks, just like any operation. These risks can include bleeding, infection, nerve injury, or anaesthesia-related side effects. Talk to us for getting to know your problem better
Effectiveness: Relieving pain and neurological problems brought on by a herniated disc is frequently achieved with a discectomy. Individual results, however, can differ.

A physical examination, medical history, and imaging tests like MRIs, CT scans, or X-rays are frequently used in the diagnosis process.
Physical therapy, painkillers, epidural injections, rest, and, in extreme situations, surgery such as a discectomy, may all be used as forms of treatment.
While conservative measures can repair certain herniated discs, medical intervention may be necessary for others.
No, surgery is usually only taken into consideration in cases with severe neurological complaints or when conservative therapy proves to be ineffective.
Bleeding, nerve injury, infection, and anaesthesia-related side effects are among the dangers associated with surgery.
Maintaining a healthy weight, employing the right lifting techniques, staying active, and avoiding repetitive, intense activities are all examples of preventive approaches.
Recovery times might vary from a few weeks to several months, depending on the surgery type and the patient.
Although recurrence is possible, the risk can be decreased by according to post-surgical instructions.
