Disc desiccation at each lumbar lore?
Disc desiccation is the loss of fluid in the intervertebral discs. When this occurs at each lumbar lore, the disc is not herniated or bulging and there is no surgical treatment.
What is multilevel disc desiccation?
Multilevel disc desiccation is a health condition of the spine. This health condition or disease is the loss of fluid between the discs of the spine. This fluid or jelly acts as cushion for the spine against pain. Multilevel disc desiccation is a degenarative disease.
Can a fall cause disc desiccation?
Yes. If the injury is significant and causes the disc to rupture. This can cause a premature loss of fluid in the disc and eventually it will dry out or die. This fluid loss also happens over the course of aging,but it is not usually seen until a person is into there 50's or older.
Which bacteria on exposures to desiccation experience least likely water loss?
cocci in clusters
What is multilevel intervertable disc height loss?
what does multi level loss of disc hydration
What is the treatment for mild disc desiccation with bulging disc?
Disc desiccation is a naturally occurring condition where the fluid lubricating the vertebral disc dry up. There are many non surgical options to alleviate the pain ranging from massage and physical therapy to pain medications.
What is loss of intevertebral disc signal?
Loss of disc signal is something commonly seen on an MRI report. It means that there has been some degeneration of the disc.
What does it mean when you have disk height loss with disk desiccation and a broad-based annular disk bulge with a fissure within the annulus?
Disc dessication is loss of water content of disc that occurs as a normal part of the aging process, but also occur with pathologic degeneration of discs. This leads to loss of the discs height and makes it a less effective "cushion" between the bones, since it also more stiff. A bulging annulus means the edge of the disc adjacent to the spine (usually) has "bulged" posteriorly and may dent or impinge upon the spinal sac, the nerve roots, or the spinal cord. An annular fissure is a crack or tear or the disc annulus (the outer coating of the disc, as opposed to the center part (nucleus)
What does loss of signal intensity and disc space height mean?
What does loss of signal intensity and disc space height mean
What is significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 with minor diffuse disc bulge?
Significant intervertebral disc space signal loss at C6-C7 is a nerve impingement which may be painful or cause loss of feeling. A minor diffuse disc bulge is a minor bulge of the affected disc.
DBs for moderate hearing loss is?

What does there is mild disc desiccation with minimal to mild loss of the disc height mean?
This is the official pathology report description of mild intervertebral disc degeneration. The "mild dessication" means the disc appears slightly drier than normal, which can be related to a mild breakdown in the squishy cushion portion of the disc. The "mild loss of disc height" simply means the disc is not as tall as it used to be, again probably a result of mild degeneration. Disc degeneration is a normal artefact of aging - everyone's intervertebral discs will go through some degree of degeneration if they live long enough. However, disc degeration is considered to be the first step towards a herniated or ruptured disc, which can cause severe back pain and require surgery to correct. If I were in your shoes and had been given this information by a doctor, I would ask what it means in practical terms. What are my risks of a herniated disc in the next five years? Will this impact nerve function? What are signs and symptoms that this disc is deteriorating? Is there anything I need to do about this - change posture, wear a brace, etc?
