The hernia belt is supposed to be the oldest treatment for inguinal hernia, more than a thousand years old, and it is still in use today, in no small amount, until the advent of medicine. However, physical examination reveals that many patients are not wearing them correctly. Therefore, today we will not discuss the reasons why the hernia belt does not cure the hernia at its root, but will only talk about the correct wearing and use of the hernia belt. The treatment principle of the hernia belt is very simple: through physical compression, a hard object at the head end of the hernia belt is pressed against the inguinal area to hold the position of the hole where the hernia comes out, preventing the intestinal tube in the abdominal cavity from falling out and playing a role in delaying the further expansion of the inguinal hernia defect. Therefore, the hard object at the head of the hernia belt must be pressed and pressed against the hole. In this case, the hard object at the head of the hernia belt does not really press the hole, but presses directly on the intestinal canal that has come out of the abdominal cavity. This can cause adhesions of the intestinal canal and even intestinal obstruction in the long run, which is worse than not wearing it at all. Therefore, here we must teach you the correct way to wear it. We must push the hernia out of the intestinal canal back to the abdominal cavity completely before wearing it. For those who stand up and the intestinal canal falls off, they should lie down, or send the fallen out intestinal canal back to the abdominal cavity first and then press the hard object at the head end of the hernia belt to the groin area and wear it completely before getting up and standing. The standard for proper wearing is to have the hernia block not fall off when you stand up and move around. If the intestinal tube still falls out after getting up and moving around, you must lie down and put it on again, otherwise it is unsafe. It is recommended not to wear it during nighttime sleep to allow the local tissues that have been compressed all day to relax, and it is also recommended to relax it two or three times during the daytime when the situation permits, otherwise the continuous compression may easily lead to local tissue ischemia and skin lesions. Of course, wearing a hernia belt is always an uncomfortable thing, and it will have different degrees of impact on daily work, treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Prolonged compression can lead to local abdominal wall thinning, tissue fibrosis and adhesions at the abdominal wall level, which is detrimental to future surgery and eventually the hernia defect, i.e. the hernia hole, is enlarged to such an extent that the hernia belt is useless. Therefore, hernia belts are only indicated for those elderly patients who are no longer eligible for surgery, patients with other diseases that cannot tolerate surgery, and patients who need time to wait for surgery due to other conditions. Except for these cases, our hernia surgeons do not recommend wearing a hernia belt, after all, surgery is the only effective way to cure adult hernia.
