Entire Body System
- Pain
Painful sensations also differ in their intensity. Causeless pain in the groin or temporary budge is a good reason to see your doctor. [herniasymptoms.net]
Increased pain at the site of the bulge. Pain while lifting. Increase in the bulge size over time. A dull aching sensation. A sense of feeling full or signs of bowel obstruction. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
Management of chronic groin pain. Complete anesthesia and pain management services, including nerve blocks to decrease pain after surgery. [uabmedicine.org]
The reader will also find guidance on established and new treatments for specific pain conditions, including postoperative chronic pain, the pubic inguinal pain syndrome, and obscure groin pain in women. [dx.doi.org]
- Swelling
Many people with a hernia will have diagnosed the condition themselves because they will have noticed a bulge or swelling in the groin. The swelling increases in size throughout the day depending on the level of physical activity. [irishhealth.com]
Swelling enlarges with coughing (palpable cough impulse ) or a Valsalva maneuver Occasionally, the swelling is reducible. [amboss.com]
A bulge or swelling in the groin or belly button, or that is associated with a previous surgical cut. To prevent a hernia: Use proper lifting techniques. Lose weight if you are overweight. [nlm.nih.gov]
- Crying
Sometimes the hernia may be visible only when an infant is crying, coughing or straining during a bowel movement. [web.archive.org]
And ask yourself: Is the bulge present when your child is straining, crying, coughing, or standing, but absent when your child is sleeping or resting? This could indicate a reducible hernia. [rchsd.org]
If you’re a parent, you might notice a lump in your infant’s groin area while he or she is crying, coughing or making a bowel movement. If so, contact your pediatrician so that she can take a look and determine if any treatment is needed. [geisinger.org]
It may get bigger after your child is straining or crying. It may go away or get smaller during the night while your child is asleep or relaxed. (Straining and crying do not cause hernias despite some myths). [healthychildren.org]
- Surgical Procedure
These hernias may occur weeks, months or even years after the surgical procedure. It is important to see your doctor right away if you think you may have an incisional hernia because it can become worse and be quite difficult to repair. [digestivediseasescenter.com]
Using data from nearly 1,700 patients treated over the last five years, the CeQOL app: Includes information about hernias and surgical procedures Predicts the incidence of chronic discomfort following inguinal hernia repair Generates a percentage chance [carolinashealthcare.org]

In these cases, early surgery is important to prevent strangulation and gangrene of the bowel and to avoid dramatic events. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Gastrointestinal
- Lower Abdominal Pain
We recently encountered a case of an 83-year-old woman who had lower abdominal pain in her right quadrant. Based on physical findings and CT findings she was diagnosed as having small bowel obstruction by internal hernia around the cecum. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Flatulence
Any residual digestive problems these patients experience, such as loss of appetite, bloating or increased flatulence, commonly resolve over a short period of time. [princeton-surgical.com]
Cardiovascular
- Hypotension
However, its use is controversial because the effect on clinical outcome is not consistently beneficial, and treatment with pentobarbital can lead to complications (eg, hypotension). [merckmanuals.com]
PDE5 inhibitors, such as tadalafil, have been shown to increase the hypotensive effects of this medicine. If you are taking riociguat or are unsure tell your doctor. Take special care with Tyra® Talk to your doctor before taking Tyra®. [dadconsumer.com]

Neurologic
- Irritability
Despite the hernia being reduced inside, the irritation of the nerves can lead to long standing discomfort in these areas. [californiaherniaspecialists.com]
Symptoms of an incarcerated hernia can include pain, vomiting, and irritability. If you touch the bulge it has created, it may feel hard. [rchsd.org]
He or she might be irritable and have less appetite than usual. In an older child, a hernia is likely to be more apparent when the child coughs, strains during a bowel movement or stands for a long period. [mayoclinic.org]
The top of the femoral canal may be reinforced by a mesh made of a synthetic material that does not irritate the body. A femoral hernia repair is routinely performed as a day case, without the need for an overnight stay in hospital. [southerncross.co.nz]

- Swelling of the Scrotum
[…] in the scrotum around the testicles when the protruding intestine descends into the scrotum Signs and symptoms in children About five in every 100 children have inguinal hernias. [web.archive.org]
Normal findings after surgery include pain, swelling of the scrotum, bruising, difficulty urinating. It is advisable to place ice packs to the surgical sight for 24-48 hours after surgery. [lvsurgical.com]
Signs that you or a loved one might have a hernia include: A bulge in the groin or scrotum, or swelling in the scrotum. Discomfort in the groin area that gets worse when you bend or lift something. Heaviness in the groin or abdomen. [geisinger.org]
Inguinal Hernia Hydroceles occur when fluid fills a sac in the scrotum of the penis (in the "inguinal canal"). About 10 in 100 male infants have a hydrocele at birth. Hydroceles can also develop with swelling or injury of the scrotum. [urologyhealth.org]
Symptoms Of Inguinal Hernias Burning, aching or a sensation of heaviness or weakness in the groin Pain when coughing or during physical exertion Swelling of the scrotum in men or boys Types of Inguinal Hernias There are two types of inguinal hernias: [drugwatch.com]
Workup
Diagnosis Laboratory studies include the following: Stain or culture of nodal tissue Complete blood count (CBC) Electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and creatinine Urinalysis Lactate Imaging studies are not required in the normal workup of a hernia [emedicine.com]
Treatment
The only effective treatment is surgical repair. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
What Is the Medical Treatment for a Hernia? Surgical hernia repair is the ultimate treatment. The timing of treatment of a hernia and technique for treatment depends on whether it is reducible or irreducible and possibly strangulated. [emedicinehealth.com]
In the literature different surgical techniques have been reported so far to achieve a successful treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Vital prognosis can be engaged if port-site incisional hernia is incarcerated or strangulated then prevention is necessary. KEYWORDS: Port-site incisional hernia; incisional hernia; laparoscopy; pneumoperitoneum; port closure [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

What is the prognosis for an abdominal hernia? Most patients who undergo elective hernia repair do well. Incisional hernias may recur up to 10% of the time. [medicinenet.com]
Etiology
On physical examination, both children showed distension and tenderness of the abdomen and abdominal x-ray and ultrasound confirmed an occlusive picture without an apparent etiology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology[edit] Femoral hernias are more common in multiparous females, which results from elevated intra-abdominal pressure that dilates the femoral vein and in turn stretches femoral ring. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevention
Each type of hernia has different causes, which means that the steps you can take to prevent them will also be somewhat different. Not all hernias, though, are preventable. [everydayhealth.com]
Preventive Measures of Hernia You can not prevent an inherent defect that makes you prone to an inguinal hernia. However, you can reduce the pressure on the muscles and the abdominal tissue. [marham.pk]
This squeezing action prevents entry of any organ into the internal ring and the cord, thereby preventing hernia formation. [doi.org]
In such cases, emergency surgery (within hours of occurring) is necessary to prevent tissue death. Prevention How can a hernia be prevented? Maintain ideal body weight by eating a healthy diet and exercising. [my.clevelandclinic.org]
