Hernia Sign #8: Fever
Hernias don’t generally cause fevers. However, in serious cases, they can. If you are experiencing a fever in addition to some of these other symptoms then it’s important to seek medical help immediately.
The reason for this is because a fever indicates that the body is working to fight off a bacterial or a viral infection. Having an infection at the site of a hernia is the last thing that you want. This can also be an indication that the hernia is strangulated, which can be a potentially fatal problem.
