A member asked:

Can a hernia cause fever and diarrhea?

Not directly: If a hernia is incarcerated (not reducible) this can cause a bowel obstruction that may produce signs of fever and diarrhea. Usually this is associated with pain.

Yes: If a hernia becomes trapped, the contents within it can start to die. This could lead to fever and diarrhea.
