Hernias often present with a noticeable bulge in the affected area, which may increase in size when standing, coughing, or straining. Common symptoms include pain, discomfort, or pressure at the site, especially during physical activity or lifting.

Some people experience a burning or aching sensation, while others may feel weakness or heaviness in the area.

In severe cases, nausea, vomiting, and difficulty passing stool can indicate a strangulated hernia, requiring immediate medical attention. If you notice persistent discomfort or a lump, consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and treatment.
