[|AI|]  Hello, Thanks for querying bulge means bulging of intervertebral disc(i.e. gelatin like material in between two vertebra). Bulging may be in any direction, it may be diffuse, central, para central, anterior or posterior. Bulging of intervertebral disc causes obstruction in the normal openings in the spine through which nerve roots exits. Obstruction in the openings causes compression of the nerve roots and it cases the symptoms. Normally, nerve roots exists from both sides. In your case compression is more on the right side whereas it is less on the left side as disc bulge is small in left side. Hope you will understand the terms. Take Care, Chat Doctor.
