That helped with the pain actually. Great video

Thank you Sir for the precise help. After less than 3 years being operated my ernia has come back : i had not started any exercise yet and was just amounting knowledge about the best way to do it; your advice makes a lot of sense and will start with that as it makes a lot of sense

Thanks a lot for your video and i definitely do it . God bless you.

Hello, Finally an exercise that gives a positive answer already after 5-10min workout. Thank you! Do you have any exercises when standing or walking? To somehow keep it in, I barely manage but the result of your exercise gives hope to realize it is actually possible by will and effort to have it back (without doing the stomach vacuum) - before it again comes visible. Maybe it is the alignment of the muscles that could be one of the problems, and those muscles your exercise ignites.

My man 🙌🏼 Excellent tip!!

Her DVD and booklet are very very good but your camera angle is better here than on the DVD in regard to the one exercise where you have to move your legs in the opposite direction of your arms. I kept falling off the wedge because I was trying to move my legs over too far. So I came back here to watch your video again and it was very helpful in showing me how to do the exercise correctly.

I think thats a good idea to lift the hip a little up to avoid hernia coming out. Great video

I had a inguinal hernia about 2+ years ago. I didnt have mesh, was a stainless steel wire. About a month ago I re-injured it , lifting a bit heavier than usual at the gym. Im probably going to have to go to re-surgery as the pain hasn't gone yet. Although it has gotten better than it was a month ago... thank you so much for this video. When I got my surgery, for about a week I could barley walk. Needed a crutch. The pain was in my right testicle. If you feel like sneezing, just put a finger horizontally under both your nostrils and that will prevent the sneeze (trust me, it's worth it). Passing stool was no issue. Full recovery took about a month. But I didn't return to the gym until about 6 months. It's a long process. Now because I was stupid and lifted heavier than I should've I managed to re injure myself. I suggest anyone to lift light, just do more reps. Never go heavy. I learned my lesson.

Actually, if you do the exercises daily, you strengthen the muscles around the hernia and will likely experience a smaller protrusion and much less discomfort. You still need to be mindful and wear a hernia belt if lifting something heavy.

Does it work for Femoral Hernia?

Bob, Do you know any kind of inguinal hernia belt or device that actually puts the pressure on a very small area instead of many cm area like the most typical hernia belts (like Uriel). Reason why I am asking is that I have discovered the area where the hernia pushes out is relatively small, like size of a 5 cent coin and when I hold a finger there, exactly on the right spot, it does not need much pressure or a wider space (than the 5 cent coin width), but just slighly holding there an index finger and it keeps it inside. I wonder if there is any kind of device in the market that can put such kind of pressure in a small area? Thanks in advance.

I did some reading up on reasons leading to a hernia and there was even a research where they mentioned weakening of the tissues due changes in collagen type 1 and type 3 balance. There was too much type 3 collagen and not enough type 1 collagen even in the skin of the people whom had developed hernias. Of course, our natural collagen production starts to dip already in our early 20s and it's a downhill from there. Also lifestyle and environmental factors affect the rate at which it drops. Just some food for thought and maybe ideas to reduce the chances of having a hernia. I personally just started supplementing with a type 1 fish based collagen. I've had an inguinal hernia for some years and lately it's started to grow a bit and get more symptomatic. Anyways, thank you for sharing your thoughts and instructions. I'm trying to find alternative way to manage my hernia as the possible surgery complications like chronic pain scares the heck out of me.

Hi Frankie, Yes, the wedge is a problem. I wound up making my own wedges which consist of two layers of firm orthopedic foam with a layer of closed cell foam in the middle for added stability. It is not an easy or inexpensive process. The middle layer has to be hand cut down to a tapered end and then all three pieces glued together. I just sold out my latest batch. LMK if you are interested and I may be able to get another batch going. Cost for the wedge is $150. If you live in Los Angeles you can pick it up. Otherwise I can ship it but that to is relatively costly. For example, $20 to central California, $60-$80 to the East Coast. Australia was $625. I could have flown there and personally delivered for that price.

If your hernia is at risk of strangulation, you should see a doctor asap. If doing these exercises makes your hernia worse-see a doctor asap.

is it for indirect or direct inguinal hernia?

To the best of my understanding, this applies to direct inguinal hernias. Not inguinal hernias that protrude into the scrotum.

@@niemerow1953 Thats impressive to control your inguinal hernia for a long time . I am already doing these exercise but without a wedge . The only exercise someone recommended that im not sure about is the plank . Although I started doing a few 15 second planks a day and it doesn't t seem to make my bulge worse . I think I will try just your exercise for 1 month plus a few miles a day of stationary bike . Thanks for your reply Bob and happy for you that your hernia stays ok .

I have a right inguinal relapse, trying to fix it so thanks for mentioning what I believed all along, that to reverse the pressure, the posture must be changed this way...now time to beat it...though figuring out what other exercises will be gentle but effective....

Bob, this is a very useful video; thank you. I would like your opinion on whether a CT scan or MRI, or any other imaging method you might suggest, could be appropriate in order to know and understand your hernia better. There does seem to be different flavors so, perhaps that would inform one's therapy and recovery protocol more precisely? My double inguinals were diagnosed with an ultrasound. Appreciate anything you can tell me.

Hi jacob, how are you ? Today i found out that i have a indirect inguinal hernia, can you please tell me what did you do for yours ? Did the exercices workout ? Or did u had surgery ? Or u still living with it ? Thank u so much

This going to tighten the muscles up and if it comes out it's going to want to trap that intestine or am I wrong.Sometimes when I strain the muscles the hernia will actually come out of the groin(ball area) and stay out for a few days and stay in the pubic area and it will get trapped with intense pain till I lay down and it slides back in(very uncomfortable) so watch how much you tighten these muscles if that heria is big

Hi Rick. If your hernia is very painful, I strongly recommend that you see a doctor right away. If your intestine is trapped, it can be very dangerous, even life threatening.

Had my hernia for at least 10 years prior to starting the exercises. Yes, my hernia got smaller, but I have to keep up on the exercises and not do any heavy lifting without wearing a hernia belt. I experience almost no hernia discomfort since doing the exercises and I don't have to be as very careful as I used to be. The bonus of doing the exercises is that my stomach is stronger and flatter and my low back feels better.
