strangulated hernia
strangulated hernia
A strangulated hernia is typically diagnosed through a physical examination and imaging studies such as X-rays or CT scans. Signs of a strangulated hernia include severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal tenderness. Urgent surgical intervention is usually required to repair a strangulated hernia to prevent complications like tissue death.
It depends on where the hernia is. Your bowels can become strangulated. So yes, it can happen
A strangulated hernia is one in which the bowel loop is trapped in a hernia.
Strangulation is a condition in which the circulation to a section of the intestine (or other part of the body) is cut off by compression or constriction; it can cause extreme pain.

Yes, if the hernia gets intestines protruding into it and the intestines become entrapped, twisted or strangulated.
Yes, a hernia can kill you, but it isn't likely. If a portion of the intestine goes out the hernia, it can become strangulated and that portion can die. That leads to infections, bowel impaction and many other issues.
An umbilical hernia itself typically does not cause swollen lymph nodes. However, if the hernia becomes incarcerated or strangulated, it could lead to infection or inflammation, potentially triggering a response in nearby lymph nodes. In such cases, swollen lymph nodes may occur as part of the body's immune response to the complication. If you experience swollen lymph nodes along with signs of a hernia, it's important to consult a healthcare professional.
I recently had surgery in July to repair an umbilical hernia only to be rushed to the hospital in October to repair 3 additional hernia's (holes). They wouldn't let me leave the hospital without the procedure. I assumed this was serious.
