Umbilical & Abdominal Hernia Support Belt with Pad

What Symptoms Indicate a Hernia? 

One term for an internal body part that protrudes from its typical structure is a "hernia." They result by putting too much weight or stress on a specific portion of your body, or from aging-related weakening of your bones, muscles, or tendons. 

A "herniated disc," an abnormal spinal nerve protrusion that arises from the channels of the spine, is certainly something you've heard of. 

This hernia belt for men and women, however, treats stomach and abdominal hernias, which occur when your intestines or other internal organs push through the muscles in your belly to produce a prominent bulge or pouch. 

Abdominal muscle strains and abdominal hernias are sometimes confused because of their similar genesis and symptoms. If you're unsure of the cause of your stomach ache, utilize this chart to help you make a diagnosis. 

What Makes a Treatment Belt Necessary for Abdominal Hernias?

Unfortunately, the only way to properly treat and mend a spatula is through surgery. You may be able to postpone surgery or choose not to have it done at all, though, if the hernia is small. 

While you wait for surgery, wearing this hernia support band will help reduce your discomfort. The pad on this hernia belt compresses the region right above your hernia to keep it in place and stop it from protruding in the future. 

If surgery is necessary, the protruding intestine will be sewn back through the abdominal wall incision to seal it. You won't be able to exercise until you're completely recovered, which increases the danger of muscle loss in your stomach. 

By supporting and compressing your abdominal wall, this belt—with or without the pad—will encourage the repair of your muscles. Hernia support belts reduce the chance of a recurrent hernia by protecting the area where the incision was made. 

Why this is the Best Umbilical Hernia Binder for Men and Women

The Hernia Pad 

To help compress the hernia as much as possible, place the pad's raised hump directly on top of the bulge. This relieves stomach pain when you move, twist, or even cough.

The shape of the pad physically compresses your hernia, preventing it from expanding further and helping to keep it confined.

It can be worn both prior to and following surgery.

• With a thin layer of Lycra (85% polyester, 15% spandex) covering it, this silicone and plastic construction is both pleasant and sturdy enough to support an abdominal hernia.
• You can use the clasp on the back of the pad to remove the pad and place it anywhere along the belt, depending on where the hernia is.
• The 100% polyester terrycloth that makes up the washable and detachable cover feels smooth and nice against your skin.

Because of this special pad, our hernia brace is better than a cheap one you would find at your local Walmart or CVS. If the hernia pad in your hernia belt is getting old or worn out, you can obtain another one here.

This ladies' hernia waistband belt is easy and quick to put on! No help is required to place this hernia garment around your waist; it only takes a few seconds. No annoying clasps or buckles! The quick fastening is quite useful if you have hand arthritis. 

Lightweight and Breathable Material 

The hernia binder is composed of spandex and nylon, and the brace's components are all free of latex. You can wear this little medical device over your clothes or discreetly under them, depending on your preferences.

Which Hernia Types Are Different in Men and Women? 

There are several different ways that hernias can develop. Only women are significantly more likely to suffer from some types of abdominal hernias. How unfair is that? These are the most common ones: 

• Hernias in the abdominal cavity
• Umbilicus hernias, sometimes referred to as navel or belly button hernias
• Incisional hernias are also known as ventral hernias.
• Hernias in the lower abdomen
• Inguinal hernias
• Brachial-ankle hernias
• Obturator Hernias

Types of Abdominal Hernias This Brace Treats:

When the intestine tugs through the muscle behind your belly button, you get an umbilical hernia. It is sometimes referred to as a belly button hernia or a nave hernia. Although they can happen to adults as well, umbilical hernias are more frequently seen in infants.

Umbilical hernias are common in women for a number of reasons. Being overweight, having had twins or several pregnancies, having had stomach surgery in the past, and having a chronic cough are all associated with an increased risk of umbilical hernias. 

An umbilical hernia is indicated by a bulge in the middle of your stomach, pressure, and discomfort, especially when you cough.

Incisional or ventral hernias:

These hernias are the result of prior abdominal surgery. Abdominal surgeries such as a C-section or tummy tuck cause the muscles in your abdomen to weaken. This weakening after surgery leads to the development of hernias.

Does Being Pregnant Increase My Risk of Umbilical Hernias?

Due to the increased strain on their stomachs during pregnancy, pregnant women frequently develop abdominal hernias. When an umbilical hernia is discovered during pregnancy, it is advised that women delay undergoing surgery to correct the herniated navel. Before undergoing diastasis recti surgery, it is best to wait until you have fully healed from childbirth.

Wearing a hernia belt throughout pregnancy is a terrific approach to help ease your discomfort while you wait for your baby to be born. The wide range of sizes makes it easy to find the ideal fit and even upgrade to a larger size as your child develops. Alternatively, if you're plus-sized or obese, the variety of sizes makes it easy to find the perfect fit for your physique. The sizes of the elastic band range from 28" to 58".

To help you feel comfortable during your pregnancy, Brace Ability offers a wide range of extra maternity support belts, braces, binders, and wraps!
