Do I need an abdominal hernia treatment belt?
Surgery is the only way to completely treat and repair a hernia. Hernia surgery may be postponed or avoided if the hernia is small. Wearing this hernia belt while awaiting surgery can reduce your discomfort significantly. This hernia belt has a pad that applies compression directly over the hernia to prevent it from bulging out further.
To promote proper muscle healing, you can wear this belt either with or without the pad. Using a hernia support belt will protect your incision site and reduce the chance of a recurrence.
Here are the reasons why this is the best umbilical hernia binder for both men and women:
Removable 3D Pressure Hernia Pad:
The raised bump on this pad is designed to help compress the hernia to the maximum extent possible. As a result, abdominal pain is relieved when you move, twist, or cough.
It keeps your hernia confined by exerting pressure directly on it to prevent it from protruding further out.
It can be worn both before and after surgery. The pad can be removed from the belt and placed anywhere along the belt depending on where your hernia is located.
Easy to Use:
Putting this hernia garment on only takes a few seconds and does not require any assistance.
Breathable and lightweight:
The lightweight medical device can be worn over or beneath clothes, as you prefer.
This brace treats the following types of abdominal hernias:
Umbilical Hernias:
An umbilical hernia occurs at the umbilicus (belly button) when a loop of intestine pushes through the umbilical ring, a small opening in a fetus’ abdominal muscles through which the umbilical cord which connects a fetus to its mother while in the womb—passes. Umbilical hernias occur most often in newborns, and 90 percent will naturally close by the time the child reaches 5 years of age.
Incisional or Ventral Hernias:
Incisional hernias result from a weakening of the abdominal muscle due to a surgical incision. An incisional hernia can occur for a number of specific reasons; individuals who participate in excessive or premature physical activity after surgery, gain considerable weight, become pregnant or increase abdominal pressure in any other way before the incision is fully healed are especially at risk for an incisional hernia. Incisional hernias are most likely to occur within three to six months post-surgery but can happen at any time. We also offer hernia belts for other types of hernias.
Is it more likely that I will develop an umbilical hernia if I am pregnant?
There’s a lot to be aware of when you’re pregnant. Changes in your body can sometimes make other rare problems pop up. One thing that likely never crossed your mind is an umbilical hernia. It’s rare, but it can happen. Also called a naval hernia, this kind of hernia is more common in women — and pregnancy can cause or worsen it.
This kind of hernia is usually harmless. About 10 percent of stomach hernias in adults are umbilical hernias. Non-pregnant adults, babies, and toddlers can have an umbilical hernia, too. In fact, it’s more common in these groups than among those who are pregnant.
