5. Vomiting

Nausea and vomiting caused by a hernia could be a critical danger sign. Vomiting occurs when a loop of the intestine is trapped outside the abdomen, causing a major bowel obstruction. This condition is an incarcerated hernia. This type can become strangulated, which cuts off the blood flow to the part of the intestine that is trapped. A strangulated hernia requires emergency surgery to resect the involved bowel. Incarcerated hernias may be fatal if not treated.
