Help Reduce Inguinal Hernias and Relieve Pain: Pads are used to apply pressure to the left, right, or sides depending on the location of the hernia. Gentle graduated pressure provides support for bilateral hernias. This hernia belt for men is designed to relieve hernia pain and aid in the healing process. Unlike men's hernia briefs, this is the perfect solution for left-sided hernias, right-sided hernias, or hernias on both sides. It has hooks and loops on each side so it's very adjustable, and it has two pads, one on each side, that press on it to hold it in place. The pad is removable, so if you want to remove it from the non-hernia side, you can. This belt provides just the right amount of pressure to relieve congenital hernias. It is made of high-quality materials and is very durable. This is a very well made groin support brace. It's comfortable enough to wear under clothes for long periods of time. This is not a permanent solution, but it can go a long way in dealing with the pain. The shoulder straps are adjustable to fit the perfect size. It will definitely hold you in place and provide a little relief to the protruding areas. It can be used before and after hernia surgery.
