∙ 9y agoDisc desiccation is a degenerative disease mainly caused by the natural aging process. This cannot be prevented, however, some treatments are available to lessen the pain. This condition also happens to young people when the back area is strained or injured repeatedly which can be prevented by taking extra care to protect our body.

You can't really "fix" it per se because it is a drying out or decaying of the disc. As we get older we all may have some form of this..ie that is one reason why we get shorter and hunched over as we age, the disc in b/w our vertebrae shrink. Things you can do though is maintain a healthy weight, take a vitamin, calcium and Vitamin D supplement, exercise, back stretching exercises, Advil or tylenol as directed and a biggy is don't smoke!

What is mild disc desiccation or disc bulging?
Disc desication is another way of saying disc degeneration, which in other words is wear asnd tear or arthritis. Discs are located between each bone of the spine and function as shock absorbers so we can move, jump, turn,etc... They also act as a spacer, creating holes on the side of the spine for nerves to exit off of the spinal cord. Disc bulging is literally a disc that is "bulging". This is linked often times to desication because as a disc degenerates it flattens and bulges outward.

Posterior bulging disc?
This situation usually produces back pain. If the disc herniation and bulging is mild, back exercises (stretching and stregthening) are often the safest and best form of treatment. If pain is intractable, then surgery may be needed. (Back surgery has a spotty track record, due to the need to cut through back muscles, which then weaken the back and make for problematic recovery at times). As always, consult your physician (and, possibly, a good neurosurgeon) for your particular situation.
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?
