HERNIA

Male & Female

Recovery & Support Garments

Suggestions from the STUDIO RANGE

Garment suggestions reflect the garments typically specified by surgeons in Perth, garment manufacturer recommendations – and the experience gained from fitting garments on people who are managing a hernia or about to undergo surgery.

Research suggests that hernias can range from asymptomatic (no symptoms) and minimally symptomatic (little or no discomfort) through to chronic (inoperable).

The choice between watchful waiting (pro-active management) and surgical repair appears to depend on the type of hernia, symptoms and individual circumstances. Given the potential benefits of acting quickly and the risks associated with inaction, prompt medical diagnosis appears the better option.

Discussing garment options with your General Practitioner (GP), and/or Surgeon is also the best way to determine the garment and frequency of wear that is appropriate for your circumstances.
