Belly belt

Abdominal support belts are an important part of the Sports Pharmacy > Orthopedic Aids category, as they are used as auxiliary orthopedic aids for supporting the abdomen, abdominal wall and lower back. These belts can be useful in cases of increased abdominal strain, pressure sensation, the need for additional stabilization or specific conditions such as umbilical hernia and pregnancy.

This category includes products such as the Bort umbilical hernia support belt white V1 and the Bort maternity abdominal support belt. The umbilical hernia support is intended for local support around the navel area, while the maternity belt is used to support the abdomen and lower back during pregnancy, with prior advice from a doctor or pharmacist.

An abdominal support belt does not replace medical examination, treatment or monitoring, especially in case of hernia, pain, pregnancy, swelling or changes in the abdominal area. A properly selected belt can provide a feeling of support and comfort, but it should be the correct size, properly positioned and used according to instructions.

When to use an abdominal support belt?

• When additional support for the abdominal wall is needed
• In case of umbilical hernia, only according to medical or professional advice
• During pregnancy, when abdomen and lower back support is needed
• In case of pressure, heaviness or strain in the abdominal area
• As an auxiliary orthopedic aid for everyday activities, with proper use

How to choose the right abdominal support belt?

The choice depends on the reason for use, size, level of support and professional recommendation. If local support in the umbilical hernia area is needed, the Bort umbilical hernia support belt white V1 can be used according to medical advice, especially if pain, discomfort or changes in the hernia area are present.

During pregnancy, as the abdomen grows and the lower back carries more load, the Bort maternity abdominal support belt can provide additional support and a feeling of stability. It is important that the belt does not compress the abdomen, interfere with breathing and that it is used with the recommendation of a gynecologist, doctor or pharmacist.

Abdominal, back and everyday movement support

Abdominal support belts can help provide a feeling of stability while walking, standing and performing everyday activities. In pregnancy, proper abdominal support can contribute to greater comfort, while in umbilical hernia a belt can provide local support but does not treat the cause of the condition.

Pharmacist’s advice

Use an abdominal support belt according to the manufacturer’s instructions and do not tighten it too much, as it may cause pressure, discomfort, interfere with breathing or circulation. In case of umbilical hernia, consult a doctor, especially if the hernia increases, becomes painful, hard, red or cannot be pushed back into place. During pregnancy, a maternity belt should be used with advice from a gynecologist or pharmacist, and use should be stopped if pain, pressure, contractions, dizziness or discomfort occur.
