For lumbar disc bulging, some patients—under their physician’s guidance—take medications such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules and undergo acupuncture to alleviate symptoms. If the condition is severe, prompt consultation at a reputable hospital is recommended, where minimally invasive surgery may be performed. After treatment, closely monitor the condition; seek medical evaluation promptly if any discomfort arises. Strictly adhere to your physician’s instructions regarding scheduled follow-up examinations. Additionally, ensure adequate rest in daily life.
