Is the recurrence rate high after lumbar disc herniation surgery?

Lumbar disc herniation surgery can be divided into minimally invasive surgery and open surgery. The recurrence rate of operation is not too low, and there are other factors.

First of all, the operation is only to remove the diseased nucleus pulposus, not to restore the intervertebral disc to normal.

Secondly, the diseased lumbar intervertebral disc cannot be changed by any operation, and there is the possibility of recurrence after the operation.

The suggestion is Chinese herbal medicine treatment. My father's lumbar disc herniation has not improved after being treated in the hospital for more than ten years, but he recovered slowly after taking active exercise with traditional Chinese medicines: Nansan and Yu Yu, and he did not suffer from the disease again.

The symptoms of disc herniation are not completely solved after operation, and there are many problems to be considered before and after operation. Whether the operation is successful; It may recur after operation; A series of sequelae after operation, long-term conservative treatment after operation. These factors should be considered, and these risks cannot be completely avoided by current medical technology. Only when the symptoms of lumbar disc herniation seriously affect life, can you take care of yourself or be paralyzed, then consider whether to operate. After all, the lumbar spine is a nerve-intensive part, and the risk of recovery after surgery is too great, so be cautious.
