Pericecal hernia?: Ask for some clarification regarding this diagnosis from whomever have it to you. Are they referring to some type of internal hernia, or an abdominal wall/groin hernia that contains a portion of the cecum? This clarification may help sort out what's going on, and how likely this hernia is to be causing any of your problems, and what to do about it. Hope this helps!
