Lumbar disc herniation is a common and potentially serious condition.

Lumbar disc herniation dural sac compression is what disease

Disc herniation causes compression of the dural sac, mainly due to degeneration and injury of the disc, which causes part of the disc to protrude and then compresses the dural sac. This can cause a series of symptoms, such as low back pain, radiating pain in the lower limbs, numbness, etc. After compression of the dural sac, it may affect nerve signal transmission. Because the dural sac contains important structures such as the spinal cord and nerve roots, compression can interfere with its normal function, resulting in paresthesia and dyskinesia. For this condition, the choice of treatment requires a combination of factors, including the severity of the condition, the patient's symptoms, and the physical condition. Mild compression and mild symptoms may be treated conservatively, such as rest, medication, and physical therapy. Patients with severe compression who fail to respond to conservative treatment may require surgery to relieve the compression.
