10 Umbilical Hernia Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #4: Vomiting
Vomiting is an involuntary expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth. Some vomit may also come out through the nose. It can be due to various ailments such as increased intracranial pressure, gastritis, gastroenteritis, and motion sickness. Antiemetics can be used to manage both nausea and vomiting. Vomiting usually occurs when the hernia is strangulated.
Other associated symptoms of a strangulated hernia include severe pain, nausea, fever, inability to pass gas or stools, and vomiting. It is important to seek immediate medical attention as a strangulated hernia is considered to be an emergency.
