Herniated disc surgery risks

A herniated disc is the outcome of stress upon the arteries and capillaries which carry blood to the disc. Lack of blood supply causes degenerative changes in the disc. And finally this pressure when reaches to extreme, leads to rupture of the outer layer of intervertebral disc. This herniated disc needs immediate treatment in all conditions. But many think that surgery is the only option for herniated disc. But only few talk about and discuss, herniated disc surgery risks.

Here we will discuss about the herniated disc as well as about the herniated disc surgery risks. So that you can make a wiser decision for your health.

A Herniated Disc

Actually, discs set between the vertebrae. Discs are cushion like and act as a shock absorber in the middle of the bones of the spinal column. These are 23 stretchy and rubbery spinal discs between each vertebra. The discs have an outer layer which is vigorous yet supple and an inner core which is watery like is known as nucleus pulposus. Nucleus pulposus is a gel inside that helps to dispense the pressure evenly on all parts of the disc.

When the disc degenerates, the protective outer layer of the spinal disc starts to wear and tear resulting in leakage of the gel like inner core material. During this process, the contained disc gets disordered and pinches the nerve root adjacent to it which results in disc herniation.

A herniated disc can be the result of degeneration, bad lifestyle, injury, your age or heredity. Symptoms can include:

• Neck or back pain remitting throughout the body.
• Numbness.
• Tingling sensation.
• Loss of bladder or bowel movement.
• Muscle weakness.
• Overactive reflexes.
• Stiff neck.
