A member asked:
What are the symptoms when a para stomal hernia strangulates? how would you know. how often should you get hernias scanned to check on them?

Pain: Strangulated hernia means the blood supple to the bowel is cut off. So this is very painful. And hernia is not reducible. It may also cause bowel obstruction.

Severe pain N&V: A strangulated parastomal hernia would mean that small bowel was trapped in the hernia and had lost its blood supply. This causes severe pain, n@v and if not treated surgically immediately, then septic shock and death. If you have a parastomal hernia and no other severe comorbidities, then it should be electively repaired. Consult a surgeon.
