How can I tell if I have a hernia?
Question:
Answers:
Give it a few days, you may have sprained something. Hernia's dont require immidiate attention unless the pain gets unberable, and the number one sign is a lump, which is normally around the belly buttom (above or below) OR right above your pubic hair region where the V is. If the pain continues for 3 days, see your normal doctor the sooner the better, he will press on the spot and check for a hole and an intestine (squishy feeling). I had hernia from lifting weights it was a quick 30 mintue operation to fix.
Try looking on google images and type in the word hernia, there is a pretty good image of a man with hernia there.
Edit: Oh ya btw where exactly is the pain your talking about, if its in your back its most likely not a hernia.
If your abdominal muscle is breaking through and causing your skin to bulge out chances are somethings wrong
nope
unless theres a huge bulging bump there
a hernia is when theresa hole in ur abs, and a part of your interstines is sticking through the hole.
its just a abominal stretch.

you might have something what's called as a sports hernia. Seriously just recently I could've sworn I had a hernia, but it turned out it was just a pulled muscle. It would get worse sometimes, but just massage it daily and should be gone very soon.
If you bulging skin or if you feel like you have stomach pains that may also be a clue! I had one for two years dumb I know but I didn't know what the hell it was and I finally had it checked out! See your doctor anyway if it is a hernia he'll have to do surgery to fix it!
when men get hernias there balls swell up real big ladies is swell up in the belly button both are very painfull
