Inguinal Hernia Truss (Double)

An inguinal hernia happens when contents of the abdomen—usually fat or part of the small intestine—bulge through a weak area in the lower abdominal wall. The area of the lower abdominal wall is also called the inguinal or groin region. Inguinal hernias occur at the inguinal canal in the groin region. Inguinal hernias are caused by a defect in the abdominal wall that is congenital, or present at birth or weakness in the muscles of the abdominal wall that develops over time. The first sign of an inguinal hernia is a small bulge on one or both sides of the groin or pain in the groin—especially when straining, lifting, coughing, or exercising—that improves when resting. Other symptoms are feelings such as weakness, heaviness, burning, or aching in the groin. Paksaman Inguinal Hernia aid design for applying adjustable compression to aid relief of inguinal hernias.
