Утечка диска Грыжа диска occurs when the nucleus pulposus (soft, gel-like center of the disc) protrudes through the annulus fibrosus (tough, outer layer of the disc). This herniated material can compress nearby spinal nerve roots or the spinal cord. The pressure from the herniation can cause a variety of symptoms, including: Pain: ranges from dull and aching to sharp and shooting. May be difficult to pinpoint. Weakness: in the affected muscles. Numbness: in the affected area. It is important to seek medical evaluation if you experience any of these symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further damage to the nerves and spinal cord.
