Question 1

kindly asking if supraumbilical hernia symptoms like pain in area of hernia or discomfort around it be improved or gone with losing of abdominal high fat mass or weight ,are there other lifestyle changes for improving symptoms of small s.hernia ?

Accepted Answer

: Unfortunately, exercise to strengthen the abdominal muscles and minimize the tummy fat can PREVENT the ventral hernia but it can't repair a hernia.

Question 2

symptoms of hernia?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Hernias by themselves may be asymptomatic (produce no symptoms) or cause slight to severe pain, or just present as a bulge (especially at the groin).   Some may get strangulated causing decrease in blood flow to that organ (usually bowel) and severe pain, nausea, vomiting, redness around skin may ensue.  Nearly all hernias have this potential.Symptoms may also depend on the location of the hernia.

Question 3

symptoms of hernia in back?

Accepted Answer

Herniated disc: Back pain and sometimes numbness tingling or weakness in leg or legs.

Question 4

what are some hernia symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Variable: Abdominal wall hernias can cause pain or discomfort, often worse with activity or certain positions. There is typically a lump under the skin that represents the abdominal contents coming through the hole in the abdominal wall (the hernia). Thus lump can enlarge, and in some cases become so large it becomes difficult to fit clothes and perform your usual activities.

Question 5

what are the symptoms of hital hernia?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms of GERD: A hiatal hernia (hh) by itself rarely causes symptoms. Pain and discomfort are due to the upward flow of stomach acid, air, or bile.  When symptoms of a hh are seen, they include chest pain, which can mimic angina pain, a dry productive cough, usually at night, heartburn, worse when bending over and made better by sitting or standing up and difficulty in swallowing.

Question 6

symptoms of hernia include incarceration?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly: I would think of incarceration as a complication of a hernia rather than a symptom.  A hernia is said to be incarcerated if something is stuck within it precluding it from being reducible.  This is typically fat but can be a loop of intestine.  If it is intestine, this can lead to nausea, vomiting, distention, and severe pain--this is a surgical emergency.

Question 7

what can be initial symptoms of a hernia?

Accepted Answer

Discomfort: One may feel pressure or discomfort and swelling at the site. Most common location of hernias are groins or umbilical region.

Question 8

what are the primary symptoms of a hernia?

Accepted Answer

Bulge: The cardinal sign of a hernia is a bulge in the soft tissue, usually in the groin or around the belly button or along an incision.  It may or may not be painful.  Sometimes the bulge can be intermittent (called reducible).  The concern is that the hernia contents can get stuck and may require an emergency operation, so we generally like to fix them electively before that happens.

Question 9

what are some symptoms of hernia i can feel?

Accepted Answer

How does hernia feel: At the groin or inguinal area, a hernia can feel like a bulge that comes and goes. When the bulge is there, it can be tender, and if you push on it, especially from your leg towards your belly button, the bulge can slip inside. Absent fever, severe pain, feeling sick, most hernias can be managed as an outpatient surgical procedure.

Question 10

what are the symptoms of a strangulating hernia?

Accepted Answer

Pain, tenderness: Nausea, vomiting, obstipation, distention, fever.  But these are advanced symptoms when you life is in danger.  You really should not wait for these symptoms to appear and have your hernia repaired.  Consult a surgeon.
