So a good friend of mine has an asymptomatic inguinal hernia, which is not constricted. Likely from weight-lifting, like a chad. Obviously, surgery is one reasonable option. However, this friend would like to consider non-surgical options that lead to full resolution and still allow him to lift weights (eventually- a break may be necessary). Has anyone dealt with this before or have any words of wisdom?

Yes, I've been paying attention to the guy that created them about 5 years ago, thinking about ordering one, and finally got tired of trying to press my intestines back into my body. I ordered my first one, the heavy duty double-sided one, just an hour ago. Looking forward to some relief and no more pain and worrying that it won't reduce.
No kidding. Ordered a few. Hoping they'll help while I work out. I have no fear of getting cut on, just want to exhaust all conservative options first. Also wondering about wearing underwear with those things. Seems like a lot going on
I'll probably wear some cotton underneath the belt so my skin can breathe better. We'll see.
He says he designed the belt so it doesn't stick up above swim trunks. You can swim in it.
I wonder if it's true what he says that 25% of men get a hernia at some time in their lives.
