Dr. Michael Zadeh answered

Specializes in General Surgery

Hernia Symptoms: Based on your described symptoms, you may have a hernia. Unfortunately, hernias do not get better by themselves. They need to be surgically repaired. You should see a general surgeon who can do a physical exam to check for hernias.
