What are the types of hernia?
The different kinds of hernia are listed below: * Congenital hernia: occur in babies, present from birth. * Inguinal hernia: common in sportsmen, involves part of the bowel protrudibng into the groin * Hiatus hernia: involves the stomach, where it enters the chest cavity via the hiatus. * Incarcerated hernia: where the hernia has swollen up. * Reducible hernia: one that can be manipulated back into place easily, much like a dislocated joint can be repositioned with relative ease. * Irreducible hernia: can't be returned to its original position without surgical intervention. * Strangulated hernia: potentially fatal, as it means the bood supply has been cut off by the hernia. There are even more types, each with their own subtle variations. These can be viewed from the link. [source: adapted from First Aid, by Geddes and Grosset]
What are the Symptoms of an abdominal hernia?
The first signs of Abdominal Hernia occur with a bulge often represented with swelling on the abdomen area where the hernia would possibly occur. In some cases the hernia in abdomen would be unrecognizable and at times could be asymptomatic. During daily activities such as lifting, coughing, exercise and other movements the abdomen would get a lot of pressure which would result in the contents pushed to the gap of the abdominal cavity which increase the size of the bulge. Impotence in males is also common with abdominal gernia and in females, painful intercourse is seen as a symptom of abdominal hernia. This will result in inflammation in the bulge area.
Why do you vomit with a inguinal hernia?
As with most medical concerns, only a visit with your physician will appropriately answer this question.Vomiting with an inguinal hernia may be for a number of reasons. First, individuals with inguinal hernias may get the stomach flu (gastroenteritis) like anyone else; this may cause vomiting, although it's not related to the hernia per se.Causes of vomiting related to the inguinal hernia include bowel obstruction (from a loop of bowel getting stuck within the hernia defect), strangulated bowel (when the blood supply to that loop of bowel becomes compromised), perforated bowel, and infarcted (dead) bowel. Other things may cause the nausea and vomiting, but these would be some of the more concerning.If you have an inguinal hernia and experience vomiting that concerns you, please see a physician. Only she can evaluate you properly to assess the source of the vomiting and whether intervention is necessary.
