I've been diagnosed with multiple lumbar ligamentum flavum issues and a couple of disc bulges in my lower back. The pain is really intense, and I'm also dealing with bowel and bladder problems along with ED. I'm only 30 is surgery the only way to fix this completely or are there other options I can explore?

My dad has had a herniated disc in his lower back for about 20 years after falling down the stairs in an accident. He's been dealing with leg and hand pain because of it. We're wondering if surgery is the best option at this point or if he can manage without it. What would you recommend?
For a herniated disc of 20 years with leg and hand pain, non-surgical management is usually the first approach, especially if the symptoms have been stable or improving. Surgery is considered if conservative treatments fail to relieve pain, nerve damage worsens, or there's significant loss of function
