The osteochondrosis lumbar is one of the most common diseases of humanity, they look equally with this diagnosis of men and women. This disease is damage to the cartilaginous tissue of the entire spine, the intermediate tertbral slices in the lumbar and sacral department, mostly people after 30 years into the risk zone, but with physical work with great stress on the back, you can encounter such a problem and very young people.
We will analyze what the causes of this disease are, how dangerous and which treatment methods exist?
The causes of osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine
- Excessive load on the spine, heavy physical work, lifting weight, also during sports in the hall.
- Excess weight, through the pressure and load on the entire pillar of the vertebra.
- A sitting, sitting lifestyle, the result of which weakens the tissue between the cartilaginous slices, and the blood circulation slows down.
- The irregularity of the attitude, innate or due to the improper position of the back during sitting, urged itself in one direction.
- Injuries, bruises, during sports, lifting weight, etc.
- Genetic predisposition.
- Age -related changes with which the mobility and elasticity of the spine is lost.
- Inflammation of the joints of the spine, arthritis, scoliosis with a shifting of slices.
- Settlement, stressful situations, unbalanced work and relaxation.
Osteochondrosis of the lumbar spine
4 The main stages of the disease are differentiated and are gradually turned away from a lighter to complicated degree. We will analyze each of them.
1 degree
The mild pain in the vertebrae, which intensifies after physical exertion, manifests itself through stupid, muffled, tingling pain in the back and in the buttocks can be bothered for a short time.
2 degrees
The distance between the vertebrae is reduced, the fibrous ring and all surrounding tissue begin to collapse, nerve roots are pressed. The pain in this phase becomes more sharp and tangible and result in the buttocks, in the thigh and in the lower leg when walking. In an attack, one person relieves relief if they bend in the opposite direction, ie back, the pain can lead to a strong burning feeling or the opposite of the cold in an affected area.
3 degrees
Fiber rings are usually completely destroyed, which occurs between the hernia. The tissues of the lumbar vertebra are deformed, the pain is almost constantly, the intensity of which depends on the presence or absence of a physical exertion.
4 degrees
The pathological nature of the vertebrae of the lumbar region occurs, the cartilage is switched on, which leads to problems when moving. The pain can be done for a short time, but then it can manifest himself in a larger area and with increased intensity.
Symptoms of lumbar osteochondrosis
pain
In 98% of the cases, pain occurs in this disease, the area of the lower back hurts directly and can be given to the buttocks, the leg through the landscape of the sciatic nerve. The pain can be moderate and increase if the body position, sudden movements, sharp curves are changed. If the body is inclined to the front, a person simply cannot break down. If a heavy object is raised, it can also close in one position and start bastards in the lumbar area.
In the event of such a disease, depending on the degree, pain can occur even with vibrations of the body when driving in transport, sneezing, coughing or deep breath.
Feeling of tension
The feeling of tension occurs sharply and disappears just as quickly. This is most common in bending and expansion. The reason for this manifestation is explained by the fact that a irritated, nervous spine shifts to bone processes.
Disturbed sensitivity
As a rule, changes in sensitivity occur exactly in the area of the lesion without touching the cross -body parts of the country. Such changes can be observed:
- Hyperaesthesia (increased, increased sensitivity);
- Hypaesthesia or anesthesia (reduced sensitivity);
- Paresthesia (a long feeling of crawling goosebumps or tingling as with injections).
Changes in sensitivity usually occur in a certain, small strip in the focus of the inflammation and can take 5 minutes to several hours.
Reduced motor activity
With various degrees, mobility is influenced by muscle atrophy, which can simply weaken the movements or lead to complete paralysis. At the same time, motor activity worsens at a certain place in the place where the muscles were injured. Accompanying parts of the body do not suffer.
Violations of autonomous function
It does not always arise, this occurs more often with cervical osteochondrosis. The osteochondrosis lumbar provokes a decrease in the bloodstream in the lower extremities. As a result, the legs are always cold and the skin as a whole becomes pale. In addition, the bladder can also fall into the risk zone, with the internal pressure (compression) on the fibers of the horse's tail. It is possible to develop acute urinary incontinence, or the opposite of his delay is opposite.
Less often, a feeling of cold can be observed in the body, although the temperature is reduced, excessive sweating, with a more complicated form in men sexual dysfunction and the complete lack of libido and intimate lubricant in women.
In men, all symptoms described are more frequent and more intensive, since they increase more and physical work more weights and accordingly give a large load on the back, so that the stage of development of the disease is faster from one stage to the other.
Complications with lumbar osteochondrosis
- Inflammation of the sciatic nerve, Ishias.
- The degree and the speed of the disorder between the vertebrae increases, the curvature of the spine is as pronounced as possible.
- The unstable position of the vertebra, when the window stops repairing it completely, and the lumbar region with every load, even light, glides out of the sacrum. As a result, the functioning and work of the internal organs of the genitarian system are affected. In men, this leads to potency, in women with severe inflammation of the uterus, ovaries and attachments.
- The appearance of hernia and inflammatory processes between different vertebral segments.
