This belly button binder for hernia suffers works by providing compression and support at the location of your hernia, preventing it from bulging out of place or worsening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, for many individuals suffering from a stomach hernia, the only way to completely get rid of, treat, or cure a hernia is by undergoing surgery to remove it. While waiting for your surgery, wearing a ventral hernia support band can help lower the amount of distress your body is experiencing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those adults looking to recover from hernia surgery, wearing a hernia truss post operation can help hold and protect the incision site. Your stomach will be very weak after enduring stomach surgery, but luckily, this hernia girdle helps support your stomach muscles and speed up recovery. This belt also lowers the chance of your hernia from recurring after surgery and allows your incision to properly heal. Wear this belt with or without the pad to provide compression and support to your abdominal wall so your muscles heal properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnsure if you strained an abdominal muscle or might be developing a hernia?

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). These materials enable the pad to be durable enough to provide maximum support while also being comfortable against your skin. The pad has a washable cover made of terrycloth fabric (100% polyester) so you can wear it beneath your clothes without irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's secured with medical-grade, hook and loop fastener, allowing you to remove it and place it anywhere you’d like along the hernia diastasis recti truss.

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. Navel or Belly Button)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUmbilical or navel hernias arise near the belly button, occurring most commonly among infants and women but can affect men as well. An umbilical cord hernia occurs when your intestine pushes through the muscle directly behind your belly button. They account for one in every ten cases of an abdominal hernia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSymptoms include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA visible bulge near your belly button, especially when \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/articles\/the-hernia-cough-test\"\u003ecoughing\u003c\/a\u003e, laughing or straining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePain or pressure at the site of the bulge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVentral or Incisional Hernia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ventral hernia occurs when you have a bulge of tissues located in your abdomen wall as a result of muscle weakness. 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. Common risk factors include pregnancy, obesity, previous hernias, previous surgeries, family history, frequent lifting, bariatric procedures, and those who've had lung problems after surgery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspect you have a ventral hernia?

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.
