10 Symptoms of Hernia

Symptom #10: No Symptoms
While being symptom-free is not technically a symptom, it’s still worth noting. Some people who have hernias may not be aware of the problem at all because they don’t have any symptoms.
This might sound ideal, but the reality is that this could be the start of a much bigger problem. If you have a medical issue, but your body isn’t telling you about it, then it could get worse over time without you even being aware of the problem in the first place.
This is more often the case with women, because they tend to have smaller lumps than men. This can be quite dangerous because the hernia might get to the point of strangulation without the patient even being aware of its existence.
