DOES INGUINAL HERNIA BELT HELP TO REDUCE ACHING PAIN?

Is wearing a hernia belt after inguinal hernia surgery useful?

An inguinal hernia occurs when tissue, such as a part of the intestine, protrudes through a weak point or tear in the abdominal muscles. This results in a bulge that can be painful, especially when you cough, bend forward or lift heavy items.

Inguinal hernias are more common in men.

A hernia truss, or belt is a supportive device designed to keep the protruding tissue in place and relieve pain. This is worn under the clothes. This works as a compression device, and is a temporary aide, but it does not treat the hernia. Always consult your physician, before using a supportive device, as at times, this can make the hernia worse. Surgery is the only way to repair the hernia.
