The removal of a herniated disc: effects, photos, videos

Treatment of herniated discs with the help of the scalpel – it is a necessity, not a fad. But after surgery, it is important to understand what to expect in the post rehabilitation period. In particular, the consequences of waiting after the release from the hospital, and what you should do.

Possible consequences

A list of the major consequences of recurrent hernias after surgery include:

• Paresis of the muscles;
• The possibility of paralysis of some muscles (all depends on which spinal disc was subjected to an operation);
• The disorder is caused by a lack of cerebrospinal fluid;
• Urinary incontinence;
• Fecal incontinence;
• Violation of f-tion of the pelvic organs;
• Various osteo-diseases;
• Degenerative processes in the field of anabolic development adjacent to the section of the muscles;
• Scarring of tissues.

Is it possible to cure these effects, and how to deal with them, to live and win?

Paresis and paralysis

Paresis and paralysis can be caused if the affected nerves connecting muscles with the spinal cord. There are two kinds of treatment. If the nerves have lost sensitivity not to the end (the test of shock, and pain), you can build muscle connection with permanent effects on the nerves by various methods. In addition is the connection of muscle memory.

In the absence of serious injuries of the spine in the treatment of hernia, these methods help to get rid of the symptoms of paralysis and paresis for 3 -, 4-weeks after surgery.

Education re-herniation

If there is a predisposition to deformation of the spine, they will come out in relapse. Usually to prevent tumors, you need to be screened regularly by a doctor, and to maintain the muscular system in good shape.

Repeated relapses are the result of improper loading, and usually come out long after leaving the hospital.

Violation of functions of pelvic organs

As in the case of paresis and paralysis, while operations were disrupted communication between nerves and organs. Recommendations are the same. In addition, when operating through the abdomen, there is a risk of damaging and cause irreversible degenerative changes in the pelvic region. As a result, the organ dysfunction is the result of non-performing abdominal muscles.

At first, these effects are treated using special corset, as long as the muscles again will not enter the tone. In the future this complication after surgery treated with special exercises for the core muscles.

Note: exercises on muscles can be performed only after complete fusion of the sutures.

The most popular exercise eliminates frequent complications in the pelvis after surgery vacuum is belly breathing.

Scar-spoeczne processes

With these processes face 100% of the patients. Get rid of them quite simple, but expensive. Laser removal of scars – the only way. Otherwise you will have left a scar, a reminder of the transferred disease.

Osteo-diseases

Unfortunately, this is irreversible, caused by dysfunction of the bone and spinal cord after surgery. They usually occur in elderly patients, and addressing them requires repeated hospital with profound medical intervention.

Osteo-diseases cannot be cured, but you can turn them into a little remission and stop at the same level.

To avoid this complication after removal of intervertebral hernia, it is recommended to use vitamins calcium throughout preoperative training.

Life without consequences

Is there life without postoperative consequences? All conditional. Of course, wearing a corset and physiotherapy do not succeed. These processes allow rehabilitation to re-establish neural communication between muscles and the spinal cord.

When the surgery is performed correctly – ¾ of patients are completely healthy. Naturally, to give you a full answer will have to consider a variety of factors:

• Spine affected with hernia;
• The qualifications of the physician performing the operation;
• The presence of associated diseases;
• Predisposition to disruption of the bone structure;
• The development of muscle and percentage of fat in the body;
• The development of a hernia.

Only by knowing all these parameters it is possible to accurately determine whether the operation on the herniated disc of the spine is consequences, or the removal of a herniated disc will be completely painless.

In order to avoid relapse, the rehabilitation period is also recommended: use non-surgical methods of treatment:

• Drug therapy;
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (diclofenac, meloxicam, nimesulide);
• Corticosteroids (polcortolon, dermovate);
• Antispasmodics (mydocalm);
• Analgesics ( ketorol);
• The complexes of therapeutic exercises;
• Sanatorium-resort treatment;
• Needle-reflexotherapy;
• Physiotherapy (diadynamic currents, electrophoresis);
• Massage.

Itself disc herniation is a large health risk that threatens the complete paralysis of the person. If the patient agrees to the operation, it needs to know in advance all the consequences, sometimes not the most pleasant, but common.

Even in the event of paralysis of the limbs, in the absence of a hernia it is possible to try to cure the medication and re-operation. But the paralysis is caused by a hernia without surgery is not treated.

To avoid most of the effects of surgery for herniated discs have the qualification of the expert, or the use of different types of extrusions (water, dry). Additionally, the use of corsets and physiotherapy. All this is enough for a month to continue life without hernia, as if nothing had happened!
