This pad is a vital component of the abdominal hernia binder because it has a raised bump, providing maximum compression directly to your hernia. The bump of the hernia pad should be placed above the top of the bulge to hold in your hernia and prevent it from protruding out more. Depending on the severity of your abdominal hernia, this pad can be removed if you’re looking for lighter support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pad is comprised of silicone and plastic, surrounded by a thin lycra cover (85% polyester, 15% spandex).

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. Although we do have \u003ca href=\"\/products\/sports-hernia-groin-shorts\"\u003einguinal hernia sport compression shorts\u003c\/a\u003e, this stomach wrap is intended to aid hernias in the abdomen region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust like an inguinal hernia, abdominal hernias also occur when weakened areas in the abdominal wall allow organs or other tissues to push through. There are several types of abdominal hernias. Here are the most common:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHiatal Hernia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the upper part of your stomach bulges through your diaphragm (the large muscle separating your abdomen and chest), it’s known as a hiatal hernia. Small hiatal hernias don’t tend to cause many issues, but larger bulges lead to food and acid entering the esophagus, which can cause symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigns and symptoms include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeartburn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcessive burping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePain in the chest or abdomen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIssues swallowing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeling full after meals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGastrointestinal bleeding (may become apparent if you vomit blood or have black stools)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUmbilical Hernia (A.K.A.

Commonly referred to as an incisional hernia, many ventral hernias are formed as a complication of abdominal surgery. Even though the stomach muscle typically repairs itself, it may become weakened in some cases, increasing the likelihood of tissue pushing through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA parastomal hernia is a type of an incisional hernia created during ostomy formation. When a new stoma is formed, it should be brought through a muscle in your abdomen called the rectus abdominis. Placement of the stoma outside of this muscle (towards the side of your abdomen) can lead to a parastomal hernia around the stoma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 25 to 30% of individuals who’ve had surgery to their abdomen develop a hernia, making this type of a stomach hernia extremely common.

Epigastric hernias typically are located in the middle of the stomach between the breastbone and belly button. Many of these hernias are present at birth but don’t appear until later in life, also known as a reducible hernia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon risk factors for both a man and woman include being plus size, muscle weakness, hereditary and straining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndividuals with an epigastric hernia experience the following symptoms:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePain in upper belly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBulge in your abdomen wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTenderness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo symptoms at all\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"the versalitex hernia belt is works for abdominal, umbilical, incisional, and ventral hernias\" src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/7958\/2517\/files\/11w03-umbilical-hernia-belt_1024x1024.jpg?v=1549924042\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions About This Brace for Hiatal Hernia Pain Relief\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eWhat conditions \/ injuries does this hernia support brace treat?\u003c\/b\u003e This truss support belt provides relief to those suffering from abdominal hernias such as umbilical, ventral, spigelian, epigastric, and incisional hernias.
