A member asked:
How can we wear the hernia belt?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Directions: Read the directions. There are many types of hernias, and support garments. While the support garments may make you feel better, they will not keep the hernia from becoming worse. See your primary care provider or a general surgeon for an exam and advice. Hope this helps!
