10 Symptoms of Hernia
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #2: Pain
A hernia is a painful condition. The pain can vary in severity, from strong discomfort, ranging all the way to severe or crippling pain. Generally, the longer you leave your hernia without getting treated, the more severe the pain will become. Many people report no pain when they first see signs of a hernia emerging.
The pain or pressure can be greatly accentuated by making certain motions, such as bending over or sitting down. If you don’t seek treatment for your hernia, the pain could continue to worsen. Make sure you get it checked out before the hernia becomes strangulated - a term that’s used to describe the blood flow to the area being cut off. This can be incredibly painful.
