How do you tell if you have a hernia?

Hiatial hernia, umbilical hernia, incisional hernia, inguinal hernia, tentorial hernia?

Any hernia

Any hernia

Well for a diaphragmatic hernia in an infant, you'd need a CT or MRI to see the extent of abdominal organs that may be in the chest cavity. Somehow I don't think that's what you are asking.

Hernias can occur throughout the body and the location will determine the tests needed. If near the skin, you can also feel them.

Do you take yours with or without the marshmallow AL?

with lots of tiny marshmallows and lots of booze.

 

[The Farmers' Daughter]

Oh that would be simply divineeeee

what she said!

You can't see the internal ones.



hernias that are near the skin can pop out in a nice finger of tissue, or a big one would be ...well...bigger. But you would have nice smooth skin, and then a big area bulging out.

Umbilical hernias often look like a small hotdog popping out of the belly button...

then hernias on the anus....

sheesh! So many kinds!

Okay Alaskan enough with small hot dog hernias popping out of the belly button.

I rather have some of those flat square marshmallows that were mentioned back aways

Thanks guys! Really useful!

marshmallows are way better than hernias.

both are often squishy.

If either one is hard...well, that is bad.



(so sorry....I shouldn't have....but I did)

I was amazed to find them in the grocery store. The grand kids loved the smores.
