What does small diffuse annular bulge?
A small diffuse annular bulge refers to a slight outward protrusion of the intervertebral disc, where the disc's outer layer (annulus fibrosus) bulges evenly around its circumference. This condition is often considered a mild form of disc degeneration or herniation and can occur in the spine, typically in the lumbar or cervical regions. While it may not cause significant symptoms, it can sometimes lead to discomfort or nerve compression if it impinges on nearby structures. Regular monitoring and conservative treatment options are usually recommended.

It's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.
