Note from the Coach:
Women are particularly vulnerable to all sorts of hernias due to pregnancy. Contrary to common understanding women now sustain hernias at a rate that rivals male hernias. Not only do pregnant women get inguinal hernias, but also femoral, umbilical, epigastric, and incisional hernias, as well as diastasis recti, a less serious condition.
The real point here is that various supports are now made which meet the extraordinary needs of what is really a very stressful 9 month period of pregnancy. Those stresses come from many different directions so that if a woman is not fit, she becomes quite susceptible to the various hernias listed above.
The good news here is that a lot of thought is being given to how to best support the typical areas of weakness and vulnerability. Even though the female anatomy is a ‘little’ different than the male’s, the etiology of hernia formation is quite similar. The true causation of female hernias is only magnified because of the inordinate pressure exerted during pregnancy. Other demands (emotional, chemical and physical) also put a lot of pressure on the female anatomy.
The support belts and accessories pictured below are provided by a company that specializes in support-wear for pregnant women. These excellent products should also be seriously considered by men, especially those who have not found a good solution for their double hernia. The relevant website is as follows: BABYBELLYBAND.
The Hernia Coach is working closely with another Health Coach who has a hernia due to pregnancy. This particular support is the only one thus far that has satisfactorily met her needs.
Remember, keeping the hernia(s) fully reduced at all times is quite necessary to a successful holistic hernia remediation process. This is especially true for those weekend warriors who have an incorrigible tendency to overdo it in the yard or during sports. The hernia should always be fully reduced and fully supported during vigorous activity of any kind, even when standing on your feet or walking.
All the best!
The Hernia Coach
