Many people are familiar with the condition of lumbar disc herniation. Pregnant women can also experience lumbar disc herniation due to physiological changes in the lumbar spine, pelvic muscle relaxation, and increased abdominal burden. Can pregnancy cure lumbar disc herniation?
1. Generally speaking, lumbar disc herniation can be cured, but due to the adverse effects of any medication or topical medication taken by pregnant women during pregnancy on the growth and development of the fetus, conservative treatment is recommended for pregnant women with lumbar disc herniation. For those who suffer from serious illnesses in early pregnancy, termination of pregnancy and surgical treatment can be considered. For those who suffer from serious illnesses in late pregnancy, conservative treatment can only be used. After delivery, they can go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and consider medication and surgical treatment.
2. For mild lumbar disc herniation, it is recommended that pregnant women strengthen their care in daily life management. They can improve the condition by massaging the lumbar spine, applying local hot compress, and sleeping on a hard bed. It is important to note that there are many nerve acupoints in the lower back, and it is recommended to massage under the guidance of a professional.
3. It is recommended to stay in bed for more than half a month during pregnancy to observe whether the symptoms have improved. Avoid bending over and stimulating the waist in daily life, avoid prolonged sitting, adjust the correct sitting posture when sitting, balance the diet, have a reasonable diet, control weight, and do not blindly increase nutrition without restrictions. Avoid rapid weight growth and excessive fetal burden on the abdomen.
