Hernia : Any type of doctor can examine. Doctors that are expert in diagnosis and treatment of this condition are general surgeon. Find a surgeon who has an interest in this area specifically

Hernia: Most doctors are trained to examine for hernia. However only surgeons fix hernia. Just like an electrician is the only one to fix electric. So try getting an appointment for a surgeon evaluation.

Easy most of: the times , by examination by a physician , like your family doctor , then ail refer to a surgeon , but rarely difficult in very obese , or hernia develops in abdominal wall layers , then may need special tests like sonogram , CT , or MRi . See your doctor you may have hernia
