People who sit and work for a long time are particularly prone to cervical or lumbar diseases. Moreover, once afflicted with these diseases, if not properly treated with medication and combined with rest and recuperation, long-term pain may occur that is difficult to cure. So, if a woman's lumbar disc protrudes, will it affect fertility?
Female lumbar disc herniation is generally caused by blocked tendons and meridians. So it generally does not affect female fertility and has little impact on the fetus. On the contrary, it can have a significant impact on the pregnant woman herself. The fibrous tissue of the intervertebral disc ruptures, causing the bone marrow nucleus to protrude from the site of rupture.
If the lumbar disc protrudes, it will compress the nerves and blood vessels around the lumbar spine, causing them to adhere to each other, which will affect the normal circulation of blood and the blood supply function of the surrounding tissues of the lumbar spine. During pregnancy, due to the development and growth of the fetus, the pregnant woman's abdomen gradually increases, and the weight produced by the abdomen will put pressure on the lumbar intervertebral discs, thereby increasing the burden on the mother's waist.
For pregnant women with lumbar disc herniation, the fetus can bring burden, which can lead to heavier burden on the lower back of the pregnant woman. In severe cases, pregnant women may also experience lower back pain and soreness. So pregnant women should pay attention to resting as much as possible, and after delivery, this symptom will also disappear. So during pregnancy, it is important to pay attention to waist protection to avoid recurrence of lower back pain.
