Screening

• Reducible hernia: There is a bulge in the abdominal area. It may be tender and can cause discomfort during any type of physical strain, such as lifting or coughing. The bulge may disappear when the patient is lying down, and be more visible when standing up.
• When a hernia cannot be pushed back into place, symptoms include pain, nausea, vomiting, inability to have a bowel movement, and a bulge that remains even when lying down.
