Reason For Pain, Nausea And Tenderness Suddenly?
I have a large abdominam hernia along my entire csection (last one was 8/2010)) incision. I am feeling burning pains, nausea, and tenderness now. It was a slow onset, bit I've been coughing due to a cold. Do you feel this is something that warrants a visit to an ER?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Yes, The incisional hernia ( as it is called) can have multiple openings and can be palpated and / or seen by high resolution ultrasonography.
Secondly if they find that a part is obstructed , you may need immediate reduction of the contents or emergency surgery.
So a visit to ER is a good thing.
You need a treatment for your cough and cold, which is imperative otherwise it will increase the hernia or its complications .
