Question: Hi,

Brief Answer:
It is safe to have sex at this stage.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
You are suffering from mild disc bulge and there is no any contraindication for sex. As the pain is less, it is safe to have sex at this stage. You have to avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting.
Drink lots of fluids since dehydration affects the disc. Eat a diet rich in fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables, nuts, milk, eggs, pulses and cereals. Get 6-8 hours of refreshing sleep daily.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
