You probably need to see a doctor ASAP. It could be a recurrence of the hernia with strangulation of bowel loops. This is a serious condition.

This may be a serious case of acute recurrence of hernia. You'd better go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid intestinal necrosis.

Sounds horrible! What is intestinal necrosis?

---

Necrosis means the tissues present there die because they were not being supplied with proper blood. With intestinal necrosis, patients may notice these symptoms: weakness, weight reduction, sudden belly ache, availability of blood in Calais, nausea, vomiting and temperature increase. The treatment aims at preventing it from reoccurring. Then a healthy habit is a must—life without tobacco and alcohol and visit your doctor regularly.
