A member asked:
Please tell me, could a hernia interfere with the bowel?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If the contents of your hernia include intestine you could experience symptoms of a bowel obstruction. If you have your colon inside the hernia that could lead to constipation. Get examined by a physician.
