Brace
Wearing a supportive device, such as a brace or a truss, can help support your hernia and prevent it from worsening or protruding while waiting for further treatments. At first, the doctor will pressure this area manually back to its place and suggest you put on a special belt. It is very effective in alleviating symptoms and makes it easier to proceed with a surgical procedure. There are many types of braces or trusses for inguinal and abdominal hernias. You could easily buy them online or in many local health stores. Nevertheless, keep in mind that somebody finds it quite uncomfortable and painful, so make sure to try it on before deciding to purchase. [4]
