Q:How should a ostomy people with a hernia wear an ostomy belt?

First, the use of a parastomal hernia abdominal belt can play a role of fixation and support. When using the parastomal hernia abdominal belt, we should pay attention to one thing: it must be in the case of lying down, let the abdomen relax, and another person will help to gently massage the abdominal mass, so that the hernia retracts into the abdominal cavity, and then tie the abdominal belt and get out of bed.

 If you are standing or sitting, or you are trying to tie the abdominal belt hard, there will inevitably be a situation where the mass is protruding. Although it protrudes from the subcutaneous tissue, if the abdominal girdle is tied under such conditions, it will compress the hernia sac, resulting in ischemia and necrosis of the hernia sac.
