Myths about conservative treatment of hernia belts

  A distinctive feature of many patients with inguinal hernias is that they have worn hernia belts for a long time before coming to the hospital and have been treated conservatively. In fact, as with injections of sclerotherapy for hernias, wearing a hernia belt can only temporarily provide symptomatic relief and cannot possibly cure a hernia. Because a hernia is a physical defect of the abdominal wall, it is impossible for any internal or external application to regenerate and rebuild the body’s abdominal wall tissue.  On the contrary, under the long-term compression of the hernia belt, the defective abdominal wall tissue becomes weaker and the hierarchical boundaries between tissues disappear, increasing the difficulty of surgery. In addition, due to the compression of the hernia belt, it is more likely to cause hernias to become embedded and increase unnecessary losses.  At present, inguinal hernia can only be cured by surgery. The tension-free mesh hernia repair surgery we carry out, in which the specialist chooses a reasonable surgical method according to different conditions, requires only 4 cm of incision, local anesthesia, no dietary fasting and no urethral catheter, with little damage and quick recovery, and the recurrence rate is very less than 1%, and you can get out of bed the same day after surgery and be discharged in 2-3 days.
