Dear patient
Discectomy surgery do not affect your married life regarding sexual relationship or daily activities. Some precautions has to be followed. Avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting. Regular physiotherapy with back and abdomen strengthening excersise is must. Regular follow up with operating every six months is required. All the best.
