What is protrusion?

Protrusion is the condition in which an organ or structure in the body projects or bulges out of its normal position. It can occur in different parts of the body such as the spine, abdomen, groin, or mouth. Protrusion of the lumbar intervertebral disc is one of the most common causes of back pain.

Protrusion of the abdomen can occur due to several medical conditions such as hernia, diastasis recti, or abdominal tumors. Protrusion in the groin area can be caused by inguinal hernia or femoral hernia. Protrusion in the mouth can be due to tooth decay, gum disease, or a dental abscess.

The symptoms of protrusion depend on the location and severity of the condition. Some common symptoms include pain, discomfort, swelling, and reduced mobility. Treatment for protrusion varies depending on the cause and severity of the condition. Some treatments include rest, physical therapy, medication, or surgery. It is important to seek medical attention if symptoms of protrusion are present as it can lead to serious complications if left untreated.
