Hi,
As mentioned Ur wife having inscisional hernia n suddenly having pain. But you forgot to mention about pain ie intensity , site duration etc. If she is having vomiting , increased bowel sound or severe pain then no point in waiting immediately go to emergency dept . If pain is mild and no other symptom and not possible to visit clinic then take anti spasmodic with ppi still symptoms persists or aggravets then go n get reviewed .
Thanks n regards
