What Does a Hernia Feel Like?
6. Common Issues With Hernia
For the most part, an inguinal hernia is not a life-threatening condition. Still, there are a number of situations where a common hernia can prove problematic. It is not unusual for a hernia to grow over the course of time. For many men, this causes the hernia to push into the scrotal area and cause more complicated issues with urination. Additionally, when the hernia becomes trapped within the weakened area of the muscles it is pushing through, it can lead to a stangulated hernia that makes it impossible to pass gas or have healthy bowel movements.
As mentioned, the most dangerous condition that can develop is a strangulated hernia. Should you experience fever, nausea, and extreme pain with a hernia, it is a strong indication the hernia is strangulated and you should visit with a doctor.
