Fast and effective help for hernias
Hernias in adults do not resolve on their own; therefore, hernias that cause pain or discomfort may require treatment. Pain and discomfort can be alleviated by containing the hernia using a hernia belt, truss, or hernia support garment. In cases where the hernia cannot be contained, a surgical procedure is performed instead.
Many people find it comfortable and reassuring to use some form of hernia support, whether it is used instead of surgery, after surgery or while waiting for surgery. For problems caused by so-called anterior abdominal wall hernias, such as incisional, umbilical or epigastric hernias, an abdominal support garment is recommended. A hernia support garment fits around the abdomen and provides comfortable support and pain relief for the hernia. The garments Smidig, Lyft and ViraRak are examples of effective abdominal hernia supports. Incisional hernias are common after abdominal surgery, but using an abdominal support garment immediately after surgery can help prevent a hernia from developing. The garment can also help improve mobility and reduce pain after surgery.
Hernias can also develop after stoma surgery. For parastomal hernias, the garments Form, ViraRak, StomiSoft or StomiBas provide good stability and support. These garments can also help keep the stoma bag in place and help prevent hernias. StomiSoft, StomiBas and ViraRak also allow you to cut an opening for the stoma bag to pass through, if you prefer or need to wear the bag over the garment.
Inguinal hernias that are not treated surgically may be relieved with the Balder inguinal hernia support. Balder provides discreet, comfortable support that helps hold the hernia in place and is available for both unilateral and bilateral inguinal hernias. Hernia support underwear also provides effective support for inguinal hernias. The garments Loke, Frej and Freja have pads that help support an inguinal hernia. Another type of hernia is a scrotal hernia. For scrotal hernias, the Tor support underwear or the Vidar athletic supporter can be used to lift and provide maximum support where needed.
