Hi
Thanks for posting your query.

Your MRI report says that the inter vertebral disc ( a disc like structure between the spinal bones ) has gone out of its place ( herniation) and it is compressing the nerves near the back region. ( Normally nerves emerge out of spine region )

Now whether you need surgery or not depends on the severity of problem . If you are in extreme pain or having weakness in legs or having problems in passing urine or motions then its an indication for surgery.

Any clarifications feel free to ask .
Regards.
