স্লিপ ডিস্ক ও কোমর ব্যথা: কখন অপারেশন প্রয়োজন?

Lower back pain is extremely common, and a "slip disc" (herniated disc) is one frequent cause. The good news: most cases improve without surgery.

What is a slip disc?

The soft cushions between your spine bones can bulge or rupture and press on a nearby nerve, causing back pain that may shoot down the leg (sciatica), along with numbness or weakness.

Non-surgical treatment first

Rest for a short period, physiotherapy, posture correction, pain management, and in some cases a nerve block. Many patients recover fully with these steps.

When surgery is considered

• Severe or worsening weakness in a leg or foot
• Loss of bladder or bowel control (this is an emergency)
• Pain that does not improve after weeks of proper non-surgical treatment

Modern minimally invasive spine surgery uses small incisions, which often means less pain and a faster recovery than traditional open surgery.
