Anti-hernia bandages are a reliable choice for inguinal and umbilical hernia
A hernia is a common pathology in which internal organs or parts of them extend beyond the abdominal cavity due to weakened muscles.
Inguinal and umbilical hernias are most often diagnosed, which require both medical and orthopedic intervention. An anti-hernia bandage is one of the important stages of treatment and prevention of complications. Functionally, it is similar to a back brace, but has a slightly different design.
What is a hernia?
A hernia occurs due to weakening of the muscle wall, when internal organs (for example, the intestines or omentum) protrude under the skin. This process can be accompanied by pain, discomfort, a feeling of a "spherical" formation in a certain part of the body. Over time, the formation becomes clearly visible and begins to increase.
An inguinal hernia often occurs in men, an umbilical hernia can occur in women, men, and children. In adults, an umbilical hernia occurs as a result of pregnancy, childbirth, significant physical exertion and other reasons.
Inguinal hernia in adults
An inguinal hernia is a protrusion of organs in the inguinal canal. It can be direct or oblique, and can increase during coughing, sneezing or physical activity. In such cases, it is important to buy an inguinal hernia bandage that provides gentle pressure on the hernia area, preventing it from coming out.
Inguinal bandages can be:
- one-sided or two-sided,
- male and female.
An inguinal anti-hernia bandage is made of elastic hypoallergenic materials and can have removable pellets - special inserts that increase compression. Some models have double-sided fixation for simultaneous protection of both inguinal canals.
If you are looking for high-quality medical products for home, pay attention to certified products made of breathable materials that do not irritate the skin. Such models of bandages from trusted manufacturers can be purchased on the website of our online store MED1.
What to do when an umbilical hernia occurs?
An umbilical hernia often occurs after childbirth, with obesity, or due to increased intra-abdominal pressure. If you notice a bulge in the navel area – It is worth buying a bandage for an umbilical hernia, which provides soft compression and reduces the load on the weakened abdominal wall.
Such a bandage is convenient for everyday use, almost invisible under clothing and often has a silicone insert in the navel area, which prevents hernia recurrence.
Which ones to choose?
The choice depends on the type of hernia, individual anatomical features and the doctor's recommendations. Depending on the type of hernia, the doctor will tell you which model is best for you.
You can also use a postoperative bandage, which will be appropriate after hernia removal operations, as well as abdominal interventions. In some cases, doctors recommend purchasing a back brace, which will become an auxiliary tool, it is often used together with anti-hernia bandages in cases of several pathologies (hernias + spinal problems).
