Lumbar Hernia

What is Lumbar Hernia?


Lumbar hernia occurs when the discs in the lower part of the spine (lumbar region) protrude outward. This condition puts pressure on the nerve roots, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the back and legs. Lumbar hernia typically results from aging, lifting heavy loads, working in physically demanding jobs, or poor posture. When the intervertebral discs in the lumbar region wear out, the herniated disc can press on the spinal cord or nerves, causing pain and limited mobility.

The treatment of lumbar hernia usually begins with conservative methods. Pain relief medications, physical therapy, exercises, and sometimes epidural injections are used to reduce pain and improve the patient’s quality of life. However, if these methods are not sufficient, surgical intervention may be required. Surgical interventions for lumbar hernia include microdiscectomy and discectomy. These procedures help reduce the pressure on the nerves and relieve pain.

With the proper treatment methods, most patients can return to their daily life. Early diagnosis and treatment prevent more complex situations and speed up the recovery process.

Gastric Sleeve surgery Gözde international hospital Izmir.

I am 12 days post op from having had gastric sleeve surgery in Turkey. My experience was positive overall and I received great care while in Izmir. My coordinator Devrim has been amazing from the beginning of the process and I’ve been able to message him at anytime for information and reassurance. I am genuinely grateful to my surgeon and all the staff at Gözde and I am looking to the future as a healthier and happier skinnier version of myself!

Went to Baypark

Went to Baypark, Istanbul 3 weeks ago and I can’t fault it. All the staff and the surgeon were spot on. The care I received was amazing and the surgeon came and checked on me every day. From start to finish any questions I had were answered by Ata or Selin. Would definitely recommend

My experience

I had my nose a year ago in Izmir by the lovely and very talented Dr. Damla Nihan Özdemir, the hospital was state of the art, it was run smoothly and I felt in safe hands. You also get a chaperone who helps explain things and sorts out transportation etc, mine was Batuhan Yetki who was lovely.
I would highly recommend this hospital and surgeon to others.

Went to Gözde Hospital in June of this year and experienced a gastric sleeve, I felt that Dr. Mehmet Denis and his team were amazing, everything was explained and all of my care and support needs were met as well as accommodating my husband, no concerns. I have lost 5 stone in 6 months, so I am very pleased, no regrets at all.

I had a very good experience using Gözde. I chose Özel Sağlık, which was a lovely hospital, spotless, and the staff there are amazing. My doctor was Dr. Ergin Arslan, whom I can't recommend enough. Peril was my coordinator and was always, and still is, on hand to help each time I message. I would definitely recommend.
