This is simply not true .Yes, if you wear a hernia belt and do nothing, it will most likely get worse until you need surgery, but if you are proactive and take steps to combat the things that caused the hernia to begin with while using the hernia belt as support, you can alleviate your symptoms. I know because I have done it. I used the hernia belt (with a flat pad) to hold the hernia in at all times that I was awake while making changes to my pelvic posture, diet to relieve gas, bloating or constipation, and strengthening the muscles surrounding the inguinal canal, and I was able to get the lump to go away completely. I have no more symptoms of the hernia, and no longer need to wear the hernia belt. Surgeons are trained to cut you open to alleviate symptoms, not to give you advice on how to relieve symptoms without having to get cut open.
@@RaveeKumaar but I was able to get rid of mine without having surgery. Whether it’s technically “healed” or not, I don’t know but I can live my life with no symptoms and without having to think about the hernia at all which is all I care about.
I agree that the truss is not an alternative to surgery. However, if properly worn in the early stages, it can prevent the intestine from repeatedly popping out and enlarging the tear, and slow the progression of the injury. I wore one during the months leading up to my surgery (open incision) several years ago. Afterwards, when I started moving around and exercising again, I went back to wearing it, to stabilize the area. Otherwise, the movement would cause me some pain, and I did not quite trust the repair to hold. I recommend a truss with large, flat pads, not the ones with rounded pads. The rounded pads are designed to apply pressure directly against the intestine itself, but I read they can actually put pressure against the tear and enlarge it.
He’s absolutely right. Any truss makes matters worse, ultimately causing more stinging, burning and stabbing. Post surgery, a wide belt across the abdomen alone provides useful supporting.
Dear hernia-brothers sisters. I had an open umbilical hernia and bilateral inguinal hernia surgery 3 days ago. And the surgeon recommended that i carry abdominal binder for at least 3 months (mostly recommended). It is just needed until the recovery of your incision site. Especially if you had an umbilical hernia surgery. I dont know about pre-op use of truss band. But as i said above, use abdominal binder for at least 3 months or a bit less to support your incision site after the surgery and until the recovery.
@@benthoughts28 I am good now. After 3 months I removed my truss band and doing well. But I try not to lift heavy weights. Actually my maximum load for now is 2-3 kgs, not more. I had my hernia surgeries in Iran and it costed me $2000+ for 3 incisions in total at a time, including 1 day stay in hospital.
You can't just wear a belt or a truss. It you do the proper exercises you can heal the inguinal hernia over time. You have to be persistent, otherwise you'll have to get the surgery. I don't see how you could put the belt over the exposed intestine, that would be pretty dumb.

Very useful video sir, thanks. My father is 80 years old, heart patient and weak and is suffering from hernia. We are scared of getting surgery done in such conditions. Kindly guide.
I was undergone a open ingunial hernia surgery 3 weeks ago , A 74 year patient was also undergone the same surgery the next day. He was same reacts as me and recover like me. After next day of surgery he starts walking.
Thank you. Very honest and helpful information. Can you show picture of a truss and belt. For an 84 years old with Hernia on both side surgery may be a risk. Please advise.
Hello sir, I had lap surgery one week ago for right indirect inguinal hernia, Post surgery i am wearing the truss to help support the repair till it becomes strong enough. I find it comfortable during coughing also.
I have worn a hernia belt for 3 years. The belt came with padding but this wasn't sufficient as the truss can't be worn tight so I added a wooden disc behind the padding. I have no problems with the belt but remove it at night. Most nights the hernia disappears while laying in bed but sometimes pushes into my scrotum. I am 68 but still very active sexually and it is only during sex I have to be careful as some positions cause me discomfort. I am careful when lifting heavy objects and have no problem doing press ups. All the cases I have seen whereby the operation has caused more problems have put me off an operation. In fact the last surgeon that examined me said that after the operation I would not get an erection or orgasm, so I will wear my belt forever.
@@meghabachu I cut a disc of 8mm thick timber (spare tongue and groove board) the same shape as the padding and used sandpaper to round the edges to give the padding extra firmness.

I did a tubal illigation and It's been 9months now and I feel that I have a bump inside my tummy and when I sleep on my tummy it makes my back to be sore. Is it hernia that am having.
This is helpful. As a woman, I also found that trusses are designed for men. Bodily functions don't work with it on and how are you supposed to lay down every time you use the restroom at work, and i am a nurse with long shifts. I have an incisional hernia on right side and about 2-3 cm above cesarean scar. I have had 4 cesareans and this has been causing me discomfort for 3 years. I believe CT showed a 3cm defect but it is probably about the size of a chicken egg by feel. I have waited for 2 reasons. Finances and also fear of new or worse scars. I would rather deal with the pain. I thought they would go in through old incision to repair and avoid a new scar but was told this isn't the case. Is this surgeon preference or is there a reason for this? I already despise the scars I have and would prefer not to add to them.
Hello sir I hv had done my inguinal hernial plasty around 4 years back , but I don't know why I am getting swelling n bulge around surgical area whenever I lift weights, take a walk or standing for a long time,

I have been operated twice for an inguinal hernia. Now this year it grow again… why ? I decided to not opérate and use a belt… the last surgery was 3 years ago. whats the point to take the operation if i will have it again. Im 27 years old. What it is your advice?? After seeing your video, im kind of worried
Sad to know your condition. Wish you find some alternative solution. Frankly Allopathy is very limited as either they will recommend surgery or generally speaking put you on medicine for life as according to them there is no cure for illnesses like Diabetes, Hypertension, Arthritis etc but by medicine it can be controlled and their medicines have extreme side effects for example for Arthritis control they prescribed me Steroids which in turn gave me diabetes. Mind you I have no history or life style which should result in diabetes. THE TREATMENT OF ARTHRITIS GAVE ME DIABETES. So once a patient you are their patient forever. I am sorry I could not give you a solution but I pray you find one. Do some research.
Unfortunately the NHS is a joke and I'm constantly pushed down the waiting list for surgery and after 3 years the pain is getting worse. I use to have pain for a few days every couple of months but now its been going for over a month. I know I could pay privately to move up the waiting list but the time off needed to recover after surgery isn't something I can afford
I have had an inguinal hernia for about 4 years and hooks the bulge inside and have almost no pain I am over 70 yes old and have bought about 3 supporting belts but none of them have worked

@@themohjangdiaries9457 I think u need to take proper rest atleast 3 months after surgery to fit the mesh properly in place otherwise mesh will not fit correctly, misplaced the mesh position.Again same bulge or pain will get in the hernia place
i heard that inguinal hernia can be cured by the ultra sons In fact , someone said in utube video that he cured withe the ultra sons. What is your opinon ? Thanks
I wore one for 2.5 years. I continued to work, and even went to the gym daily since September 2021. I went to the gym right until the day of surgery. JUST USE IT CORRECTLY. It does buy you time but surgery is the only way out. And what ever you do, do not get a mesh. So, yes. They will buy you time
Why not a mesh?) My hernia got worst after 2years) for the 2nd year I wore a hernia belt) it stop the pain instantly) but pushed the hernia down into my right scrotum) my right scrotum is big as a small ballon) ~6-8inches) I need an operation and probably a Mesh) ) I postponed operation because of scare of covid19)
What do you recommend for a elderly man who is 88 years old. No way can he have surgery, so do you recommend a hernia belt ? He has 2 bulging lumps above his penis , by the lower part of his stomach . Thank you
