Slip disc意思

"Slip disc" is a term that is sometimes used colloquially to refer to a herniated disc or a prolapsed disc. A herniated disc occurs when the inner nucleus pulposus of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the annulus fibrosus (the tough outer layer of the disc). This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the affected area, depending on the location of the herniation and whether it compresses nearby nerves.

The more formal medical term for this condition is "herniated nucleus pulposus" or "herniated disc." The term "slip disc" is not a medical term and is not widely used in the healthcare profession. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan if you are experiencing symptoms that you think may be related to a herniated disc.
