Warning Signs You Have A Hernia
A hernia is a bulge that appears in the abdomen. While this is true, there are many other signs and symptoms that may be present. Don’t ignore the symptoms of Hernia or think they are minor.
Untreated hernias could be very dangerous. Let’s take a look at eight silent signs that you might have a hernia.
easy to miss signs of a hernia
Pain in the Pelvic Area
They rarely cause bulges so some hernias in women can be diagnosed as fibroids, endometriosis, or ovarian cysts based on where the pain is located. These hernias can cause pain in the back or leg, but a MRI is often required to diagnose them.
Umbilical hernias can also occur near the abdomen button in women. This type of hernia can be hidden by a hearty laugh and pain.
Weakness
A hernia is characterized by muscle fatigue, weakness in the upper leg or groin and weakness.
Nausea And Vomiting
An upset stomach, although not often thought of as a sign of a hernia can be a sign of serious conditions such as an incarcerated mynia. If the hernia is not resected by gentle pushing, it can be serious and require immediate medical attention.

Fever
Combining a fever and a hernia can be dangerous. This could indicate a “strangulated hernia” that is not receiving enough blood flow. Contact Dr. Brett Sachse, Surgical Consultants of Northern Virginia, immediately.
Pain under certain conditions
A hernia is a condition that causes pain when lifting heavy objects or pressure in the abdomen when you bend down. Another sign is pain in your abdomen or groin when you cough.
Constipation
Constipation can indicate a blockage in your large intestine, which could cause problems with digestion. It will also be difficult to pass gas.
Heartburn
Heartburn can be caused by many things, but a hernia is one possible cause. Hiatal hernias in the upper abdomen may cause heartburn and chest pain. This allows stomach acid to leak into your esophagus, causing inflammation that mimics heartburn.
