A Growing Concern in Bangladesh By Dr. Md. Nafaur Rahman Assistant Professor, Department of Pediatric Neurosurgery National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital Chief Consultant, Bangladesh Paediatric Neurocare Centre.
Prolapsed Lumbar Intervertebral Disc (PLID) is becoming increasingly common in Bangladesh, particularly among individuals leading sedentary lifestyles or involved in physically demanding jobs. It can cause severe back pain, leg numbness, and even difficulty in walking if not treated timely. Early diagnosis and appropriate management — whether conservative or surgical — can significantly improve quality of life. At the Bangladesh Paediatric Neurocare Centre, we are committed to providing evidence-based care for spinal disorders in both adults and children. Stay informed, stay healthy. Seek medical advice if you’re experiencing persistent back pain, radiating leg pain, or difficulty standing or walking.
