What Happens If Hernia Is Not Treated?
The doctor offers various treatment options to a patient diagnosed with a herniated disc. The most common among these are bed rest and pain medications to reduce pain. Even if these treatment options are considered sufficient for a patient with hernia onset, after a while, the patient encounters muscle weakness problems while performing exercises that can reduce joint stiffness and pain due to painkiller dependence or excessive rest. Reducing pain with rest and painkillers is not considered a treatment by experts and is considered a temporary solution. The hernia continues to progress even if the patients think that they have recovered as a result of the painkillers they use. Progressive hernia causes increasing pain, contractions, numbness or limping. It also causes herniated disc, low foot syndrome, impotence problem and urinary incontinence.

What is Microdiscectomy?
Instrumented Posterior Spinal Fusion Surgery
It starts with anesthetizing the area to be treated for herniated disc with radiofrequency, and the pain nerves that provide chronic pain transmission are rendered insensitive with the help of a device called a probe under X-ray. The entire treatment takes 20 to 30 minutes.
Microdiscectomy is the most commonly used treatment method in herniated disc surgery. It is a surgical method used in the treatment of herniation of the disc between the neck and dorsal vertebrae. It is applied to relieve the pressure on the nerve root and relieve pain by removing the herniated disc parts.
Fusion is the joining, fixing, knitting and freezing of two spinal bones. Additional hardware such as rods, screws, and cages may used to achieve fusion. The instruments used are both helpful in correcting the deformity and act as an internal support that will hold the vertebrae together while bone union occurs.
