A member asked:
Is loosing weight initially associated with early symptom of ingenuial hernia? when abdominal wall weakens does blood test show anything?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hernias: Hernias can protrude with weight loss. The fat that was plugging the opening may shrink and allow fat or abdominal organs to protrude. You should start with a physical exam to see if your hernia can be felt. A general surgeon or general internist can examine you. If it is small, an ultrasound or ct scan can image the hernia. Blood tests will not help.
