Lumbar disc herniation is caused by calcification

Lumbar disc herniation calcification may be related to factors such as long duration of disease, maintenance of functional stability, and combination of other diseases.

1. The disease duration

is longer, so that the lumbar disc herniation is subject to long-term wear, surrounding calcium salts and other substances will deposit here, and calcification will be formed over time.

2. Maintaining functional stability of the

lumbar disc will move with the activity of the lumbar spine, but the body protection mechanism will keep the lumbar disc in a stable state. When the lumbar disc calcification is stable, it can be relatively stable. Therefore, patients with lumbar disc herniation appear calcification, which may also be formed in order to maintain functional stability.

3. Combined with other diseases

When lumbar disc herniation is complicated with tuberculosis, it can also lead to calcification of lumbar disc herniation under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, which should be distinguished.
