How does a dr find a hernia on a large woman? i feel like i have one but can't feel anything?

Look for bulge.: Depending on the location of the hernia you should be able to note a fullness in the region the hernia is. I would bear down as if you are lifting a heavy weight. I would not rely on if the area is tender. Your PCP should be able to help you.
