Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling pain in my buttock recently, so I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. The results showed that it's caused by sciatica. I'm very worried. What should I do?Hello doctor, what is sciatica? I need to understand more about the technical aspects of this condition.
Doctor's answer:
If after careful examination and consideration, there is a condition of buttock pain, it is likely caused by sciatica, which may be due to a lumbar disc herniation compressing the sciatic nerve, leading to this type of pain manifestation. It is recommended to pay attention to appropriately adjusting one's lifestyle, avoiding prolonged standing or walking, and taking note of proper bed rest to prevent bending and straining. Additionally, oral medications that nourish the nerves can be considered for treatment.
