Use pre-surgery or pre-surgery to provide constant, comfortable, and adjustable pressure to single and double inguinal hernias.

First, let’s discuss the difference between femoral and inguinal hernias and how to treat each type best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUnderstanding Femoral Hernias\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFemoral hernias are much more common to occur in women. A femoral hernia happens when a portion of your muscle tries to get back through the femoral canal consisting of veins, nerves, and arteries. Unfortunately, femoral hernia treatment will always require surgery. However, you can use the hernia truss belt to help you recover from surgery for protection, supportive compression, and pain relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBreaking Down Inguinal Hernias\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore familiar to men, an inguinal hernia happens in the abdomen between the groin and pubis. The bulge created by an inguinal hernia may increase in size when you put pressure on the belly while coughing or sneezing. Depending on the severity of the hernia, surgery is not always required. Use the hernia support belt before or after surgery for pain reduction, support, and targeted compression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo sum up the difference between inguinal and femoral hernias, it all comes down to the hernia's location. Femoral hernias occur in the femoral canal, while inguinal hernias occur in the inguinal canal. This hernia support belt can be worn to help treat and manage pain caused by both femoral and inguinal hernias.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Reduce an Inguinal Hernia Without Surgery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the severity, Inguinal hernias can occasionally be mild enough to avoid surgery safely. So, what steps should you take to ensure you don’t need to worry about an inguinal hernia procedure? First, let’s break down what an inguinal hernia is, its location, how to know if you have an inguinal hernia, and how to treat it best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere is an Inguinal Hernia Located?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn inguinal hernia occurs when bulging contents of the abdomen squeeze through a weak area in the lower abdominal wall. Inguinal hernias can occur at either of two passages through the lower abdominal wall, one on each side of the groin. These passages are called inguinal canals. If you have an inguinal hernia, you will likely discover a bulge on either side of the pubic bone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Does an Inguinal Hernia Feel Like?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnsure if you have an inguinal hernia?

Check for the lump while standing or gently feeling around the affected area. Visit a doctor or medical professional to confirm if you have an inguinal hernia. To check, the doctor will likely have you stand and cough. In some cases, to check for an inguinal hernia, your doctor may need to order an imaging test, such as a CT scan or abdominal ultrasound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Treat an Inguinal Hernia:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile an inguinal hernia isn’t necessarily dangerous, it still will not improve on its own. In some severe cases, an inguinal hernia can lead to life-threatening complications, especially if left entirely untreated. Surgery is most likely needed to fix an inguinal hernia, specifically when it is painful or rapidly enlarging. Inguinal hernia repair is a standard surgical procedure. Use the hernia truss to help prevent any further injury while you recover from surgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Types of Groin Hernias: What Kind of Inguinal Hernia Do I Have?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTesticular hernias occur when an organ or fatty tissue moves through a weakened spot in the surrounding muscle or fascia (connective tissue).

Untreated, a hernia can grow, and serious, even life-threatening, complications can occur. If your hernia is small and isn't bothering you, your doctor may recommend watchful waiting. Some patients choose to use an inguinal hernia belt to hold off on hernia repair surgery for awhile. However, if your hernia is causing significant discomfort, don't rely on a hernia truss. See your doctor to discuss the best treatment and recovery options.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions About This Inguinal Hernia Truss\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat conditions\/injuries does this brace treat?\u003c\/b\u003e Use post or pre-surgery to provide constant, comfortable, and adjustable pressure to single or double inguinal hernias and femoral hernias.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/b\u003e Compression pads and adjustable tension straps support weakened groin muscles by applying constant, gentle pressure to your hernia.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhen should I wear it?\u003c\/b\u003e Always talk to your doctor for specific usage instructions, but generally speaking, our inguinal hernia belt is designed to be a comfortable option for all-day wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat is it made of?\u003c\/b\u003e Woven elastic waistband, padded elastic support pad, and elastic strapping system with medical-grade fasteners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWho can wear it?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSuitable for adult men and women.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat size should I buy?\u003c\/b\u003e Using a soft\/flexible tape measure, find the circumference around your hips, in inches.

The most common hernias are inguinal hernias, occurring when fat or part of the small intestine bulges through a weak area in the lower abdominal wall near your groin. Aside from this common hernia, hernias can occur in your thighs, stomach, and upper chest area.
