Hernia Sign #5: Decreased Blood Flow
When hernias get large, they can become strangulated. This means that they are caught between muscle tissue and unable to receive enough blood. Not only does this exacerbate the symptoms of the hernia but it can decrease blood flow throughout the rest of the body. Strangulation can become so serious that it can be fatal, so if you’re experiencing problems with blood flow or blood supply then it’s important to get to the emergency room as soon as possible.
Medical professionals recommend getting checked out for a hernia as soon as you notice any symptoms. The main reason for this is so that you can have the problem fixed before it becomes strangulated and puts your life in danger.
