  Symptoms of an inguinal hernia may include a bulge in the groin—the area between the lower abdomen and thighs—a bulge in the scrotum in a male, and feelings of discomfort, pain, heaviness, or burning in the groin. […] Your symptoms may get worse when you strain, lift, cough, or stand for a long time and may get better when you rest or lie down. […] If you have symptoms of a stuck or strangulated hernia, seek medical help right away. A strangulated hernia is a life-threatening condition. […] Symptoms of stuck or strangulated hernias may include a hernia bulge that is suddenly larger than before, a hernia bulge that used to go back inside the abdomen but no longer does, fever, redness in the area of the hernia, sudden or severe pain or tenderness in the area of the hernia, and symptoms of intestinal obstruction, such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. […] Inguinal hernias typically develop on one side of the groin and form on the right side more often than on the left. Some people who have an inguinal hernia on one side will have or will develop a hernia on the other side.

  Not all inguinal hernias have symptoms. Sometimes, symptoms come and go. A hernia may slide in and out of the opening, or you may only feel it during certain activities. In children, you may see a lump in their groin area that appears bigger when they cry. It may go away when they sleep. An indirect inguinal hernia may not be palpable (able to be felt) to the touch because it may be tucked behind muscle fibers. […] You might notice: A bulge in your groin area on either side of your pubic bone. It can go into your scrotum or labia. A feeling of pressure or heaviness in your groin. Pain in your groin, especially when straining, lifting, coughing or bending over. A burning or pinching sensation that may radiate through your pelvis or down your leg. […] Hernias do tend to worsen over time. As the opening becomes weaker and wider, more tissue can push through it. The more tissue pushes through, the more likely it is to become trapped. This can be painful, and in extreme cases, can be dangerous.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15757-hernia

  Not all hernias cause symptoms and different types of hernias may cause different symptoms. One telltale sign of a hernia is a visible lump or bulge that appears during certain activities or in certain physical positions and goes back in at other times. […] You may also feel pressure, a dull ache or pinching when the hernia comes out. It may come out when you’re straining, lifting, laughing or coughing. […] You may not feel it at all, or you may feel pressure, a dull ache or a sharp pain when the hernia comes through the opening. If you have frequent discomfort, you should see a healthcare provider right away. […] A hernia occurs when a weakness or a preexisting opening in your muscle or connective tissue allows an organ or other tissue to push through the barrier. […] Most aren’t serious, but they can be. They can also become more serious over time. A hernia becomes serious when it gets stuck in the hole that it’s pushed through and can’t go back in. This can become painful, and in severe cases the tissue can become cut off from blood supply, causing necrosis (tissue death). Since hernias tend to worsen over time, most will need surgical repair sooner or later.

  Most inguinal hernias will eventually cause symptoms, and children and women are more at risk of dangerous complications. […] Inguinal hernias don’t improve by themselves. They usually worsen. You won’t necessarily have complications, but the risk does increase over time. The risk is highest for children because they’re still growing and their hernias will enlarge at a faster rate. […] A woman with an inguinal hernia is likely to also have a hidden femoral hernia behind it, which will only be found through surgery. Femoral hernias have a higher risk of complications, and 50% of hidden femoral hernias in women require emergency surgery.

• #1 Hernia FAQ: What are the Signs & Symptoms of a Hernia?

  https://bostonhernia.com/faq/what-are-symptoms-of-a-hernia/

  Hernia is an abnormal opening or defect in the abdominal wall that allows internal abdominal contents to bulge through the hole, just under the skin. This generally presents itself as a noticeable lump in the abdomen. […] Many patients can correctly self-diagnose a hernia because they notice a bulge that is bigger when standing, sitting or coughing and often disappears when they lay down in bed. […] Symptoms of a hernia include pressure in the lower abdomen and pain in the groin that goes to the testicles. Some people feel these symptoms after sitting for long periods of time or after exercise. Most people describe symptoms as discomfort, pressure or mild pain. […] Sometimes severe pain, associated with a tender mass in the groin or abdominal wall, could signify an incarcerated hernia and is a surgical emergency. […] Many hernias cause a bulge that is painless. Painless or “asymptomatic” hernias don’t often lead to emergency situations and can be observed by a primary care provider or surgeon. […] Over a period of ten years, 80% of these asymptomatic hernias turn into symptomatic ones.

  Strangulated hernia: An incarcerated hernia stuck outside the abdominal wall can get squeezed. When this happens, the blood flow to the hernia is cut off, which can cause the hernia tissues to die. If part of your intestine is strangulated, you can have intestinal obstruction. That means food and liquids can’t pass through your intestines. […] Other signs you may have an incarcerated or strangulated hernia: […] Your bulge is bigger than it was. […] You can’t push the bulge back in. […] You see redness around the bulge. […] You have a fever. […] You have severe or sudden pain around the hernia. […] Incarcerated and strangulated hernias are life-threatening.

[…] Without treatment, this can lead to a strangulated inguinal hernia. The blood flow to the tissue is cut off, and the tissue in the hernia can die. […] It is also possible for a part of the small intestine to become stuck and strangulated, causing intestinal obstruction and the death of the strangulated part of the small intestine. […] If a person notices any symptoms of a stuck or strangulated inguinal hernia, they should contact the emergency services as they will require emergency surgery.

  Swelling or a bulge in the groin or scrotum may be seen during crying or straining, and it may get smaller or go away when the baby relaxes. […] A smooth mass that is usually not tender. […] Localized pain in the area of the hernia. […] If the bulge can be gently pressed back into the abdomen, the hernia is termed reducible. If it cannot be pressed back into the abdomen, the hernia is known as incarcerated (irreducible). […] When a hernia becomes incarcerated, infants or children will show signs of irritability and may vomit. They may also have loss of appetite, abnormal bowel patterns, and / or tenderness of the groin area and swelling of the abdomen. […] With a prolonged period of incarceration, the blood supply to the intestine could be cut off, causing it to die. This is referred to as a strangulated hernia — a life-threatening situation that requires urgent surgical attention.

  Although there is a high incidence of inguinal hernia in developed countries, few studies have been conducted to describe the symptoms, and these few only address the local symptoms, not those presenting at other levels. The aim of the present study is to conduct a detailed review of the symptoms, both inguinal and otherwise, of patients with inguinal hernia. […] Significant differences (more symptomatology in patients with hernia) were found for the following items: groin pain, genital pain, urinary symptoms, abdominal pain, increased peristalsis and tenesmus. On the contrary, the control patients presented greater symptomatology with respect to back pain and diaphragm pain. […] Patients with inguinal hernia present a wide variety of symptoms, and these are not restricted to the inguinal area. It is important to be aware of this fact to convey accurate information to the patient, especially with regard to postoperative expectations.

  Patients also could present symptoms of hernia with heaviness, swelling, and a tugging or burning sensation in the area of the hernia, scrotum, or inner thigh. Males may have a swollen scrotum, and females may have a bulge in the large fold of skin (labia) surrounding the vagina. Certain activities tend to make hernia symptoms worse. These may include prolonged standing, prolonged sitting, coughing, laughing, sneezing, straining during a bowel movement, sexual intercourse, getting in and out of a car or bed, bending forward, or crossing legs. The pain or discomfort may get worse as the day goes by and may completely resolve when lying flat. Some women feel more pain from their hernia during their menstrual period. […] Some patients complain of on and off pain and discomfort in the groin region especially during physical activity and/or straining, without having any bulge on the physical examination. If there is pain due to a hernia, but without a bulge, then we refer to these as “occult” or “hidden” hernias. The pain may be sharp, shooting, stabbing, dull, aching, electrical or tingling. The pain may radiate down the leg, around the back, up the abdomen, into the testicle or vagina. It never radiates down the buttocks or below the level of the knee. In those patients ultrasound, CT scan or MRI could assist the physician to diagnose a small hernia.

  Any hernia pain is worth a visit to your healthcare provider. It’s important to have a healthcare provider diagnose hernia pain, since many other conditions can be mistaken for a hernia. If your hernia changes color, goes numb, or causes symptoms like fever, nausea and vomiting, seek medical attention right away. […] Your healthcare provider will assess how severe it is and how fast it’s likely to progress. Some hernias may not need urgent repair, but for most, they’ll recommend it eventually. The surgery is usually a simple outpatient procedure with a short recovery. It’s almost always successful, but there is a 10% chance of the hernia returning sometime later, especially if the conditions that caused it continue.

  Hernias don’t go away on their own. Only surgery can repair a hernia. […] Many people are able to delay surgery for months or even years. And some people may never need surgery for a small hernia. If the hernia is small and you don’t have any symptoms, or if the symptoms don’t bother you much, you and your doctor may simply continue to watch for symptoms to occur. […] Over time, hernias tend to get bigger as the muscle wall of the belly gets weaker and more tissue bulges through. […] Many doctors recommend surgery because it prevents a rare but serious problem called strangulation. This occurs when a loop of intestine or a piece of fatty tissue is trapped inside the hernia and is cut off from its blood supply.

  Patients also could present symptoms of hernia with heaviness, swelling, and a tugging or burning sensation in the area of the hernia, scrotum, or inner thigh. Males may have a swollen scrotum, and females may have a bulge in the large fold of skin (labia) surrounding the vagina. Certain activities tend to make hernia symptoms worse. These may include prolonged standing, prolonged sitting, coughing, laughing, sneezing, straining during a bowel movement, sexual intercourse, getting in and out of a car or bed, bending forward, or crossing legs. The pain or discomfort may get worse as the day goes by and may completely resolve when lying flat. Some women feel more pain from their hernia during their menstrual period. […] Some patients complain of on and off pain and discomfort in the groin region especially during physical activity and/or straining, without having any bulge on the physical examination. If there is pain due to a hernia, but without a bulge, then we refer to these as “occult” or “hidden” hernias. The pain may be sharp, shooting, stabbing, dull, aching, electrical or tingling. The pain may radiate down the leg, around the back, up the abdomen, into the testicle or vagina. It never radiates down the buttocks or below the level of the knee. In those patients ultrasound, CT scan or MRI could assist the physician to diagnose a small hernia.

  In some cases, a recurrent hernia can block the intestines. This causes severe nausea, vomiting, trouble passing gas or stool, and a swollen abdomen. This is a serious issue that needs immediate medical help. […] A recurrent hernia is a bulge, sometimes painful, that shows up at or near the spot of the original hernia. If it worsens and the intestines push into the hernia, it imposes serious health risks like infection or constipation. […] It is important to acknowledge the signs of inguinal hernia recurrence on time. Delayed treatment can worsen the situation. Repairing recurrent hernias often requires highly complex abdominal surgery. The success rate tends to decrease with each re-operation.

  Hernias don’t go away on their own. Only surgery can repair a hernia. […] Many people are able to delay surgery for months or even years. And some people may never need surgery for a small hernia. If the hernia is small and you don’t have any symptoms, or if the symptoms don’t bother you much, you and your doctor may simply continue to watch for symptoms to occur. […] Over time, hernias tend to get bigger as the muscle wall of the belly gets weaker and more tissue bulges through. […] Many doctors recommend surgery because it prevents a rare but serious problem called strangulation. This occurs when a loop of intestine or a piece of fatty tissue is trapped inside the hernia and is cut off from its blood supply. […] Repairing the hernia can also relieve the symptoms of pain and discomfort and make the bulge go away. The hernia won’t heal on its own. […] If your hernia does not bother you, most likely you can wait to have surgery. Your hernia may get worse, but it may not. Over time, hernias tend to get bigger as the muscle wall of the belly gets weaker and more tissue bulges through. […] In some cases small, painless hernias never need repair.

  In some cases, an inguinal hernia can be life threatening. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you, or someone you are with, have any of these life-threatening symptoms including: Change in bowel habits, such as an inability to have bowel movements or pass gas, High fever (higher than 101 degrees Fahrenheit), Increased swelling of a known hernia, Not producing any urine, or an infant who does not produce the usual amount of wet diapers, Painful new bulge or mass, Severe abdominal pain, Severe nausea and vomiting. […] Swelling can lead to entrapment, or “incarceration,” of the hernia contents, which can include fatty tissue, intestine, and other abdominal or pelvic organs. This can ultimately reduce the blood supply to the incarcerated tissues, resulting in tissue “strangulation.” Tissue strangulation is typically accompanied by intense pain, and it is a medical emergency that requires immediate treatment to prevent tissue necrosis (tissue death). […] Intestinal strangulation is a potentially life-threatening medical emergency that requires immediate treatment to reduce the risk of bowel loss.

  When your child has an inguinal hernia, you can usually see a bulge in the groin and/or scrotum or labia. The bulge will typically come and go, and is usually soft and squishy. It may get bigger after your child is straining or crying. It may go away or get smaller during the night while your child is asleep or relaxed. […] NEVER ignore signs of pain or distress or any bulge in an infant or child. Call your doctor as soon as possible for a professional opinion or go to the emergency room. […] If the bulge becomes trapped even when your child relaxes, it may mean that organs from inside the belly are trapped inside the hernia. This is called an „incarcerated hernia” and requires immediate medical attention. Your child will likely have pain or feel tenderness (or even have vomiting). The bulge may also become much firmer or even red when this happens.

  In men, an inguinal hernia may descend into the scrotum, causing swelling or pain. […] There may be a feeling of weakness or pressure in the groin, which may not be associated with noticeable pain but can still be uncomfortable. […] Some people may experience a gurgling sensation, which can be due to the movement of intestines within the hernia. […] If a hernia is small, it may not cause any discomfort at all. But even small, painless hernias have a risk of becoming a medical emergency if the intestine or another piece of tissue becomes trapped (incarcerated) and the blood supply is cut off (strangulation). […] Strangulated hernias are less common but they can cause severe pain and symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and a sudden increase in pain. If you suspect you have an inguinal hernia, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.

  At first, an inguinal hernia either may not cause any symptoms or may cause only a feeling of heaviness or pressure in the groin. Symptoms are most likely to appear after standing for long periods, or when you engage in activities that increase pressure inside the abdomen, such as heavy lifting, persistent coughing or straining, while urinating, or moving the bowels. […] As the hernia grows, it eventually causes an abnormal bulge under the skin near the groin. This bulge may become increasingly more uncomfortable or tender to the touch. As the hernia increases in size, a portion of herniated intestine may become trapped and unable to slide back into the abdomen. If this happens, there is a danger that the trapped intestine may twist and die because its blood supply is cut off. This causes severe pain and requires immediate treatment.

  A hernia usually develops between your chest and hips. In many cases, it causes no or very few symptoms, although you may notice a swelling or lump in your tummy (abdomen) or groin. […] The lump can often be pushed back in or disappears when you lie down. Coughing or straining may make the lump appear. […] Inguinal hernias occur when fatty tissue or a part of your bowel pokes through into your groin at the top of your inner thigh. […] You should go to your nearest AE straight away if you have a hernia and you develop any of the following symptoms: sudden, severe pain, being sick, difficulty pooing or passing wind, the hernia becomes firm or tender, or cannot be pushed back in. […] These symptoms could mean that either: the blood supply to a section of organ or tissue trapped in the hernia has become cut off (strangulation) or a piece of bowel has entered the hernia and become blocked (obstruction). […] A strangulated hernia and obstructed bowel are medical emergencies and need to be treated as soon as possible.
