Hernia Truss: Or simply a "hernia belt, " is a device that can be worn around the waist with cushions that will help keep the hernia from popping out, causing your symptoms. I wouldn't recommend using this unless determined to be ok by your general surgeon. The surgery to repair a hernia works well, so you should give it serious consideration.
