Does Inguinal Hernia Cause Abdominal Bloating?
I had a CT scan with contrast earlier this week. The purpose was to look for diverticulitis. No problem there but it did show that I have an inguinal Hernia on the left side. The reason I went in to my doctor is that I have some discomfort in my lower abdomen. I feels like I have slight bloating like I can t get rid of gas. Could the inguinal hernia cause that feeling?

Hello,
Inguinal hernial can lead to abdominal discomfort but not bloating. It also depends on what part is a hernia.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
