As a result, the fibrous wall of the disc may weaken, which might result in the protrusion of the disc wall. Additionally, the wall of the disc can rupture, and the elastic material inside the disc can break through the gap, resulting in a hernia. Protrusion or herniation of the disc can lead to a narrowing of the space (in the spinal canal or along the root canals leading to or from it) and to pressure on the nerve fibres, which can cause numbness, pain, loss of muscle strength, paralysis and, in more severe cases, paralysis and urinating and defecating difficulties, and impotence in men.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-3 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><section class=\"vc_cta3-container\"><div class=\"vc_general vc_cta3 vc_cta3-style-classic vc_cta3-shape-rounded vc_cta3-align-center vc_cta3-color-blue vc_cta3-icon-size-md vc_cta3-actions-bottom\"><div class=\"vc_cta3_content-container\"><div class=\"vc_cta3-content\"><header class=\"vc_cta3-content-header\"><h2  class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >Book an appointment!<\/h2><\/header><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our colleagues are happy to help!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"vc_cta3-actions\"><div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-center\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-lg vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-classic vc_btn3-icon-left vc_btn3-color-primary\" href=\"tel:+3614653131\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"vc_btn3-icon fas fa-phone\"><\/i> +36 1 465 3131<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-3 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><section class=\"vc_cta3-container\"><div class=\"vc_general vc_cta3 vc_cta3-style-classic vc_cta3-shape-rounded vc_cta3-align-center vc_cta3-color-blue vc_cta3-icon-size-md vc_cta3-actions-bottom\"><div class=\"vc_cta3_content-container\"><div class=\"vc_cta3-content\"><header class=\"vc_cta3-content-header\"><h2  class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >Send us a message!<\/h2><\/header><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Our colleagues are happy to answer every question!<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"vc_cta3-actions\"><div class=\"vc_btn3-container vc_btn3-center\" ><a class=\"vc_general vc_btn3 vc_btn3-size-lg vc_btn3-shape-rounded vc_btn3-style-classic vc_btn3-icon-left vc_btn3-color-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/medicare-group.hu\/kapcsolat\/\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><i class=\"vc_btn3-icon far fa-comment-dots\"><\/i> \u00dczenetet k\u00fcld\u00f6k!<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the long run, damage to the disc results in the loss of the connection between the vertebrae, which can be accompanied by other lesions in addition to injury.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid shape_divider_top-none shape_divider_bottom-none\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-6 sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >When is lumbar disc herniation surgery necessary?<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Surgery is rarely needed in cases of disc herniation (approximately 2%).

Damaged disc parts are removed from inside the disc. In the surgical area, a suction tube (drain) is left behind, and the wound is closed above the drain.
