Hello,

Thanks for the query.

Annular tear i.e.tear of inter vertebral disc is common after certain exercise, as annulus fibrosis is broken or torn & fluid from the disc comes out. Disc which acts as shock absorber get disturbed. Such tear can effect certain body position & movements. It may also effect certain intercourse position also & sexual performance due to pain or muscle spasm.
