L/s spinal surgery hai maammi ka sara report done hai ( MRI , BLOOD TEST, X-RAY.) to doctor ne neurology problem bataye Hai, To abhi mujhe kya procedure karna hai
Hello Ramesh Ji,
Thank you for your message. It’s good to know that your mother has had all the tests, including an MRI, blood test, and X-ray, done. Since the doctor mentioned a neurology-related issue, we need more clarity before proceeding.
What neurological problem has the doctor mentioned, with its treatment?
Has your primary doctor suggested lumbar spine surgery (L/S spinal surgery) for a specific condition, like slip disc, nerve compression, spinal stenosis, or disc herniation?
Once we know this, the treatment can be planned appropriately.
If surgery is required, here are the types often used:
Discectomy or Microdiscectomy:
Removes part of a herniated disc pressing on a nerve
Minimally invasive with quick recovery
Laminectomy:
Removes part of the bone or ligament to relieve pressure on spinal nerves
Often done for spinal stenosis
Spinal Fusion:
Joins two or more vertebrae to stabilise the spine
May be advised in case of spinal instability or severe degeneration
Relieves leg pain, back pain, and nerve compression
Improves movement and walking ability
Prevents nerve damage if done at the right time
Improves quality of life and daily function
Free consultation with top spine and neurosurgeons in Kolkata
Assist with second opinions and confirm if surgery is truly needed
Help with hospital selection, cost comparison, and EMI options
Guide you through insurance approval
Support with booking, paperwork, and follow-up care
Wishing your mother strength and a speedy recovery! Let us know the exact diagnosis, and we can guide you on the next steps.

Given your condition—lung cancer with spinal metastasis at D11, and the advice for spine surgery, this is a critical stage.

Iam a 54 years diabetic male.My HbA1c is 6.0 recently I have been diagnosed with enlarged prostate 34gms.I feel discomfort and urge to urinate even with small amounts of urine.This problem gets aggravated at night,and becomes more severe when travelling in bus or train.Do I have an overactive bladder too?
Hello Ashwani Kumar Dubey Ji,
Thank you for sharing your detailed concern. At 54 years of age, being a well-controlled diabetic (HbA1c 6.0%) is a positive sign. However, your recent diagnosis of an enlarged prostate (34 grams), along with frequent urination, urgency, nighttime discomfort, and increased symptoms during travel, suggests a combination of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) and possibly Overactive Bladder (OAB).
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH):
As the prostate enlarges, it can partially block urine flow, leading to:
Frequent urination
Sudden urge to urinate
Weak stream or dribbling
Nighttime urination (nocturia)
Overactive Bladder (OAB):
This includes sudden, intense urges to urinate—even when the bladder isn’t full.
Diabetes can worsen this by irritating the bladder nerves.
Not always. At 34 grams, your prostate size is considered mild to moderate. Most patients with this condition start with medications and lifestyle changes, which often bring good relief.
However, surgery may be required if:
Medications don’t work after 3–6 months
You face urine retention or a very weak stream
You experience recurrent UTIs, bladder stones, or kidney involvement
Nighttime symptoms and travel urgency severely affect your routine
TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate):
Most common method
Removes excess prostate tissue without external cuts
Offers fast and effective symptom relief
Laser Surgery (HoLEP, GreenLight):
Minimally invasive with less bleeding
Ideal for diabetic patients or those with bleeding concerns
Prostate Artery Embolisation (PAE):
A non-surgical, radiology-guided day-care procedure
Shrinks the prostate gradually by cutting off the blood supply
Long-term relief from frequent urination and urgency
Better sleep and comfort during travel
Improved urine flow and reduced bladder strain
Lower risk of kidney damage and future complications
Consult a urologist for further evaluation
You may need tests like a bladder scan, uroflowmetry, and urine tests
Discuss both medical and surgical options based on your symptoms and preferences
Wishing you good health!
