A member asked:

Can sexual activities like ejaculation and orgasm cause worsening symptoms in patients with spinal stenosis , herniated disc , bulging disc ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing permanent: Activity can affect these diseases but usually for the better. Exercise helps the problems but only a little. Bulging discs are rarely symptomatic so have at it.
