Maybe: It sound like he has developed an incarceration, meaning something is stuck in the hernia. If it is a portion of the intestine, then yes it is serious problem. He should be evaluated immediately.

Go to the ER: I recommend that he go to the er now. The surgeon will probably fix the hernia in the very near future, and your father should then feel better. There is a small chance that the hernia could be damaging the intestines.
