Hernias have a long history and have existed as early as 900 BC. As the oldest method of treating hernia, it condenses the wisdom of the ancients and still plays an important role in today's highly developed medicine.
Hernia belt is the preferred method of treatment for infant hernia, because infants and young children are weak and cannot withstand the ability and risk of surgical anesthesia, so they are not suitable for surgical treatment. Pediatric hernia under 2 years of age, especially suitable for hernia belt treatment. In addition, middle-aged and elderly hernia patients who do not have surgical conditions, hernia belt treatment is also the first option. It can be said that the hernia belt is the safest and most effective instrument for the treatment of these two types of patients, and is the link that supports their life and health.
Hernia belt treatment principle
The principle of hernia belt treatment is very simple, no pain, no side effects. Although the forms are diverse, the treatment principles are the same. Through physical squeezing, the hernia is reintroduced, the hernia ring mouth is pressed, and the weak area is reinforced from the outside, preventing the further expansion of the hernia ring mouth, preventing the hernia from protruding again, and achieving the purpose of curing the hernia. Some hernia belts also carry traditional Chinese medicine packets, magnets, etc., which realize the external treatment of internal and external diseases and enhance the therapeutic effect.
How to use the hernia belt
The hernia belt is mainly divided into inguinal hernia belt and umbilical hernia belt. During the use of the hernia belt, whether it is worn correctly is the key to the treatment effect. First of all, we must choose a safe and comfortable hernia belt that does not affect the patient's normal life and work. Below is a demonstration of the correct use of the hernia belt with Qu Shanbao's infant groin type hernia belt, which adopts a one-piece protective gasket design to prevent strangulation without marks.
1. Install and wear
A set of infant hernia belts contains an assembled hernia belt and three pressure hernia bags, first loosen the pink elastic bands on the left and right sides of the waist and legs, and glue the pressure hernia packs to the side of the hernia belt corresponding to the baby's hernia. Let the baby lie flat on the bed and put it on like pants, first under the waist, not tightening.
2. Reset the pressure well
Gently push the baby's protrusion back into the abdominal cavity with your hand, find the position of the hernia ring mouth (the position of the hernia ring mouth is about 1 cm vertically up at the half of the groin), and press the hernia belt pressure hernia bag against the hernia ring mouth.
3. Tighten the adjustment
Tighten the elastic band to the right degree, not too tight, and it is advisable to accommodate 1-2 adult fingers at the waist. Also do not be too lax, too loose if the hernia belt can not suppress the hernia package, causing the displacement of the hernia package, can not accurately press the hernia ring mouth.
4. Organize and store
After adjusting the elasticity, the excess elastic band is inserted into the piercing ring on the "protective gasket" to prevent the exposed elastic band from rubbing against the baby's skin. Check it again, the hernia is no longer prominent, and the hernia belt is worn. Wear it before your baby can stand up.
Precautions for the use of hernia belts
1. Before wearing, the hernia must be returned, only in the state of complete retraction without vascular bulge, no foreign body protrusion and no bulge can the pressure hernia bag be pressed against the hernia ring mouth and then worn well.
2. When wearing it for the baby, the baby usually does not cooperate, will move randomly, resulting in imperfection of the wear, so it is best to wear it when the baby is asleep or quiet, so that the baby gradually accepts the hernia belt.
3. During the wearing period, it should be checked frequently, and it is found that the pressure hernia bag should be adjusted in time, it is best to wear it 24 hours, and the elastic band can be appropriately adjusted when resting at night.
4. Maintain the cleanliness of the hernia belt, such as the baby to the hernia belt diaper should be cleaned and dried in time to wear, so that the baby in the wearing process always remain dry state, more conducive to the baby's health. The hernia belt and sponge gasket are made of cotton, which can be cleaned normally, and hand washing is better. The interior of the pressure hernia bag is filled with medical silicone and the surface is sewn in cotton cloth, which can be cleaned and reused.
Tips:
Different people have different ways to treat hernias, and for infants and young children under two years of age, the hernia belt can play a good role in adjuvant treatment.
