Inish Pharmacy Expert Advice

Choose your size carefully using the manufacturer's measurement guide before ordering, as an appropriate fit is important for comfortable and targeted support.

A hernia support belt is intended to provide support; it does not repair the underlying hernia. If you have not already had the lump assessed, speak to your GP or healthcare professional to confirm that it is an inguinal hernia and that using a support belt is appropriate.

If the hernia cannot be gently reduced, becomes suddenly or increasingly painful, or you develop other concerning symptoms, do not continue trying to fit the belt and seek medical attention.

How to use

This belt should only be used with a reducible inguinal hernia.

  1. Lie on your back and gently reduce the hernia back into the abdominal cavity.
  2. Position the belt pad directly over the hernia site.
  3. Position the belt around the hips or just above the hernia.
  4. While lying down, fasten the main Velcro strap to a firm but comfortable tightness.
  5. If the belt has vertical or leg straps, pull them through the legs and fasten them to the front to help maintain pressure.
  6. Check that the belt is tight enough to prevent the hernia from descending, but not so tight that it causes pain or skin irritation.
  7. PharmaCare advises wearing the belt throughout the day, particularly when walking or active.
