10. Symptom Free
Although being symptom-free is technically not a symptom it is definitely worth mentioning. While symptom-free hernias may seem ideal in reality they are just the tip of the iceberg. All of the above symptoms such as pain and swelling are how your body inform you that something is wrong. Without these important indicators, you may have a serious health problem that is rapidly progressing without even realizing it. You may begin experiencing the symptoms of strangulation without ever realizing you had a hernia. This is particularly true for women as the lumps they experience are typically smaller than men’s.
