Long-term bad habits in life can easily lead to lumbar disc herniation. However, many patients know little about this disease and do not know how to deal with it once they get sick. Lumbar disc herniation is a common orthopedic disease. Once the disease occurs, it will cause great suffering and even limit the patient's activities. So, how to care for patients with lumbar disc herniation?

1. Bed rest

Bed rest is an important part of health care for lumbar disc herniation. Stay in bed. Generally, patients after internal fixation surgery get out of bed early, and patients with simple nucleus pulposus removal get out of bed late, because it takes a long time for scarring of the annulus fibrosus to form. The bed is preferably a hard bed with a thick mattress on top. While lying in bed, others should assist you when turning over. Your shoulders and hips should be turned over at the same time, and your waist should not be twisted. Use a urinal and disposable diapers and relieve yourself in bed, trying not to raise your buttocks.

2. Exercise

Starting from the removal of the drainage tube after surgery, it is necessary to strengthen the back muscle exercises, and continue to do so after resuming daily activities. You can lie on the bed, use your abdomen as a fulcrum, straighten your legs, put your hands behind your head, actively contract the lumbosacral muscles, try to lift your head and legs off the bed at the same time, hold it for a few seconds and then slowly put it down. Or lie on your side in bed, straighten your lower limbs, lift it upwards with force, hold it for a while and then put it down again. Repeat this many times to strengthen your muscle strength and facilitate early recovery.

3. Daily life

Postoperative patients can drink a small amount of red wine, but they must quit smoking. Take a walk in the neighborhood and nearby streets. About 2-3 months after surgery, you can resume non-manual work such as sitting in the office. About 3-4 months after surgery, you can resume some physical work as appropriate, but you must always avoid bending down to carry heavy objects, carrying heavy objects on your shoulders, and other activities. Avoid strenuous physical activity in daily life. Young women who have not yet given birth should wait for a period of complete recovery after surgery before considering pregnancy or childbirth, otherwise it may easily lead to recurrence or even aggravation.

The above mainly introduces the nursing common sense after lumbar disc herniation surgery, reminding patients to pay attention to their diet, be nutritious, and quit smoking and drinking, so that they can recover as soon as possible.

Presumably many female patients want to know how to treat uterine prolapse in gynecological diseases. For the treatment of uterine prolapse, Western medicine generally places a pessary in the uterus, while Chinese medicine uses acupuncture and acupoint injection. The combination of the two can achieve good results.

Placing a support in the vagina in conjunction with general therapy is suitable for patients with I- and II-degree mild uterine prolapse and moderate bulging of the vaginal wall. Commonly used types include morning glory, ring, ball, bulb-mushroom head pessaries.

No matter which pessary to choose, you need to wear it in advance. Start with the medium size and insert it into the vagina. It is appropriate to hold the uterus up so that it does not fall off when the abdominal pressure increases and there is no discomfort. Put it in in the morning, wash it at night and dry it before using it the next morning.
