A member asked:

What is the main symptoms of a indirect ingunial hernia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bulge: When you cough there will be an impulse in the groin and visible bulge if it is more advanced.If it is an early(still small) hernia a doctor needs to examine you with a gloved hand will insert a little finger in the external inguinal ring and feel the impulse when you cough.Don't worry about these anatomical details.Just let the doctor check you.
