Signs Indicating You May Have a Hernia
                     Signs Indicating You May Have a Hernia
Hernia
While it’s true that most hernias 
appear as a visible swell in the 
abdomen, there are those types that 
are not visible. Be careful of any 
changes and don't ignore them since 
when left untreated, hernias are 
dangerous. 
Hernia Signs & Symptoms
Weakness
If you experience any feelings of 
muscle weakness and lethargy in the 
groin area and upper leg, there’s a 
possibility that you have a hernia.
Nausea &/or Vomiting
An incarcerated hernia is a hernia that 
doesn't go back to its original place 
after a gentle push. This is a very 
serious condition that leads to stomach 
upsets, nausea, and vomiting. 
Worsening Pain
Pain that worsens over time is a typical 
symptom of a hernia. Should you 
experience any pain after lengthy 
walking or standing in the umbilical or 
groin area visit a healthcare provider.
Fever
A hernia that is not getting enough 
blood flow can make you have a higher 
body temperature than normal.
Constipation
Any blockage in the large intestine 
caused by a hernia can cause 
constipation or difficulty in having a 
bowel movement as it interferes with 
digestion.  
Heartburn
There are many causes of heartburn 
and a hiatal hernia is one of them. A 
hiatal hernia occurs when the upper 
section of the stomach gets squeezed 
through the diaphragm opening.
Pain in the Pelvic Area
An inguinal hernia is likely to cause 
pain in the pelvic area. The future of 
inguinal hernia repair is very 
promising, though you will want to see 
a doctor if it is painful.
