Very First Symptom of a Hernia?

by admin

Okay, Sometimes I have severe constipation problems, and seeing my dad go through a Hernia, I do my best not to try and push too hard. But recently Iv'e noticed that while I'm trying to have a bowel movement, i get a weird sensation in my abdomen . It's about belly button height, but all the way over to my left side. it deosnt hurt and never has. I recently did the "cough test" and that side does feel....Swollen? maybe. Not really sure, thats why im asking. thankyou. also a different question. if your pregnant and carrying the baby in your ovaries/fallopian tube, where would you feel the baby move if at all? thanks guys!

I agree with the first answer…the site you are mentioning is not typical for a hernia. If you did have one, you would have pain and a noticeable "bulge" at the site.

Straining during a bowel movement doesn't cause a hernia…it's a weakening in the abdominal wall that causes your intestines to break through. All that straining during a BM can cause is hemorrhoids, so don't worry about that. There's a good chance that you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), which could be causing your constipation and the strange sensation on your one side. I would see a gastroenterologist to rule that out.

As far as an ectopic pregnancy (where the embryo implants in the fallopian tubes) would cause problems LONG before you would feel fetal movement. Ectopic pregnancies cause a myriad of problems before the fetus develops enough to feel movement…not to mention that the fallopian tube would rupture long before that point, and possibly be fatal. So, in other words, you wouldn't feel movement.

I hope you feel better soon…get that stuff checked out!
