What are the symptoms of abdominal hernia ?
Well, a hernia is not ‘fully-formed’ or not, it just is. You certainly dont get a hernia from twisting yourself some weird way. First of all, all babies are born with a natural abdominal hernia, just in some cases the hernia or part of it doesnt completely close. This allows part of the intestine (or occasionally another organ) to poke through the abdominal wall and be pinched. I had a hiatal hernia (like the one I just described) and it was painful, causing me constant nausea until I had it fixed. Prego women develop hernias in late prego, b/c of the uterus size. Men are also prone to groin hernias when doing heavy lifting, but that is something else entirely. A pulled muscle can take weeks to heal, dont expect anything for a while yet. It absolutely does NOT sound like you have a hernia.
