When is Microdiscectomy Surgery in Delhi Recommended?
Back problems caused by pinched nerves usually get better with alternative treatments like therapy, medication, and steroid injections. But persistent back problems make daily life difficult. Hence, our surgeon recommends Microdiscectomy surgery in Delhi. It is also recommended when:
Sciatica:
Sciatica is a disorder of the nerves that usually affects only one part of the lower body. It happens when a herniated disc presses on the sciatic nerve. The microdiscectomy procedure takes out part of the intervertebral disc or herniated disc that is putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. This frees up the nerve and lets the limb move again in a few days.
Loss of Bladder or Bowel controls:
When the herniated discs interfere with nerve function and disrupt bladder and intestine functioning, the microdiscectomy treatment in Delhi is recommended as a potential treatment.
Loss of balance:
If the herniated disc pushes against the main nerve root canal that is protected in the spinal canal, the patient loses their balance. Microdiscectomy surgery in Delhi is extremely helpful in restoring nervous function by relieving nerve distention.
Difficulty in living daily life:
Though herniated discs can be treated with other conservative approaches, some cases do not respond to those approaches. The doctor then recommends Microdiscectomy surgery to relieve nerve compression to resume nervous function and minimize pain.
