Patient's question:
When I was young, I had a hernia and after treatment, it hasn't flared up for many years. But recently, my hernia has flared up again. It's said that a hernia belt can be used for treatment. I want to know if a hernia belt can cure adult hernias?Doctor's answer:
Hernia is one of the most common general surgery diseases in clinical diagnosis. It occurs when an organ or part of the body returns to its normal position through congenital or acquired weak points, scars, or gaps, entering another area. Due to adults often engaging in strenuous physical activities, situations where intra-abdominal pressure decreases are also frequent. Under such circumstances, the treatment of simple hernia with a truss can easily lead to the onset of hernia, and the effect is not significant. The hernia truss therapy is suitable for hernias in infants and young children and for patients with surgical contraindications. It can quickly prevent the protrusion of the hernia, thereby effectively preventing the expansion of the hernia, alleviating symptoms such as abdominal pain, discomfort, and constipation caused by hernia.
