The highest prevalence is among people who are aged between 30-50 years, with a male to female ratio of 2:1.[1]

This is a painful condition caused when a disc in the spine is pushed out from its place. The spine is made up of several of these jelly discs encased in an exterior. If any disc is pushed out from its place it can press on the surrounding nerves resulting in pain.

Pain in lower back, hips and upper legs
Shooting or stabbing pain

Self-care: Avoid lifting any heavy items and rest your back for a few days.
Medicines: OTC pain relievers can help. In addition, topical creams can also be applied for inflammation.

Surgery: Removal of the herniated disc may be required in certain cases via surgery.
