How possible is it to die from a ruptured hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare: i assume you mean an incarcerated hernia where the intestine is trapped within a hernia sac. a bowel obstruction would result which if neglected would lead to dead intestine and peritonitis. most people could not endure the pain of neglecting a hernia of this degree.
