Does anyone know the symptoms of a strangulated hernia?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Obstruction, Pain: A strangulated hernia is so-named when intestine gets stuck in the hernia and cannot be reduced, potentially causing the blood supply to be cut-off. This causes intestinal obstruction (nausea, vomiting, bloating, constipation) and a painful lump at the hernia site. This is a surgical emergency requiring prompt attention.
