With an inguinal hernia, a tear or opening develops in the abdominal wall at the level of the groin hence the name “inguinal hernia” or “abdominal wall hernia.” The opening that forms in the abdominal wall can be dangerous. If this opening becomes larger, parts of the intestine may descend toward the groin. This is often accompanied by significant pain and can lead to various complications.
A hernia belt with a silicone pad provides targeted support to the abdominal wall and helps reduce pressure on the groin region.

Through this opening, tissue such as part of the intestine can protrude outward. This can cause pain, a visible bulge, and in some cases complications.
With an inguinal hernia, a tear or opening forms in the abdominal wall. As this opening enlarges, pressure can cause organs such as the intestines to push toward the groin. This can lead to pain and discomfort, especially during exertion, lifting, or coughing.
An inguinal hernia can be congenital or develop later in life. A congenital inguinal hernia occurs more often in men and develops when the abdominal wall does not fully close after the testicles descend. An acquired inguinal hernia usually develops due to prolonged strain or a weakened abdominal wall.
The cause of an inguinal hernia is often a combination of a weakened abdominal wall and increased pressure in the abdomen. Factors such as heavy lifting, straining, coughing, or being overweight can increase pressure and lead to a hernia.
Smoking, prolonged physical strain, and reduced muscle strength around the abdomen can also contribute to the development of an inguinal hernia.
Pain from an inguinal hernia occurs due to pressure on surrounding tissue and nerves. When tissue protrudes through the opening in the abdominal wall, tension develops in the groin area. This pressure increases during movement and exertion, worsening the symptoms.
If an inguinal hernia is suspected, it is important to consult a doctor or physiotherapist for proper diagnosis. In some cases, especially in young children, the hernia may resolve on its own. In other cases, surgery is required to strengthen the abdominal wall.
In addition to medical treatment, it is important to reduce strain on the abdominal wall. Avoid heavy lifting, intense sports and activities that increase abdominal pressure.
A hernia belt can provide support in case of an inguinal hernia. The belt uses a silicone pad that applies pressure to the groin area, supporting the opening in the abdominal wall. This helps reduce pressure and relieve symptoms.
A hernia belt can help with:
A hernia belt can be used as temporary support, for example when surgery is not yet possible or during recovery. It can also help reduce symptoms during daily activities.
How long can you keep walking with an inguinal hernia? +
In many cases, you can continue walking with an inguinal hernia as long as your symptoms allow it. However, walking may cause a dull or pressing sensation in the groin, especially over longer distances. It is important to stay within your pain limits and avoid overloading. If pain increases or a visible bulge becomes larger, it is advisable to rest and seek medical advice.
What should you avoid with an inguinal hernia? +
With an inguinal hernia, it is important to avoid activities that increase pressure on the abdominal wall. This includes heavy lifting, straining, intense sports, coughing without support and prolonged standing. These activities can worsen the hernia. Wearing a hernia belt can help reduce pressure during daily activities.
Can an inguinal hernia rupture or worsen? +
An inguinal hernia cannot literally “tear,” but it can worsen. The opening in the abdominal wall may enlarge, allowing more tissue to protrude. In severe cases, parts of the intestine can become trapped, requiring medical attention. It is therefore important to take symptoms seriously and reduce strain on the groin.
Can an inguinal hernia heal without surgery? +
In adults, an inguinal hernia usually does not heal on its own and often requires surgery for a permanent solution. In some cases, such as in children, the hernia may close spontaneously. A hernia belt can help reduce symptoms and keep the condition stable, for example while waiting for surgery or when surgery is temporarily not possible.
