A bulging disc is always compared to a herniated disc. In case of a bulging disc, it simply bulges outside the space it normally occupies between your vertebrae, but it doesn't rupture, whereas in case of a herniated disc, a crack occurs in the outer layer of the disc. A bulging disc affects a much larger part of the disc than a herniated disc.
