7-Fever
There are many types of hernias and various degrees of complications, but severe pain with a sudden onset in patients with hernia along with fever is indicative of a complication called strangulated hernia. In these cases, the abdominal contents get trapped in the abdominal wall defect, and the borders become too tight, compromising blood circulation and often leading to life-threatening consequences. By itself, fever can be caused by infections or inflammatory disease, but don’t neglect this symptom when you have an excruciating pain as well, as in the case of strangled abdominal hernia.
