Patient's question:
When the baby was about a month old, he cried and cried, and developed an inguinal hernia. The family was very anxious. The doctor told me that the child was still very young and needed conservative treatment. I bought a hernia belt. Please ask, what are the usage methods of the hernia belt?Doctor's answer:
When using a hernia belt, it is important to frequently check the position and tightness of the medication packet. It is best to wear it for 24 hours. During nighttime rest, you can loosen the belt slightly. If any adverse reactions occur while using it, stop using the belt and wait until the condition improves before wearing it again. The hernia belt can be taken off occasionally to expose it to sunlight or washed, but the medication packet should not be removed; it cannot be washed. Once the medication packet gets wet, its effectiveness decreases, so parents should pay extra attention.
