[|Human|] I have a large abdominam hernia along my entire csection (last one was 8/2010)) incision. I am feeling burning pains, nausea, and tenderness now. It was a slow onset, bit Ive been coughing due to a cold. Do you feel this is something that warrants a visit to an ER?
[|AI|]  Hi. Thanks for your query and an elucidated history. Yes, The incisional hernia (as it is called) can have multiple openings and can be palpated and / or seen by high resolution ultrasonography. Secondly if they find that a part is obstructed, you may need immediate reduction of the contents or emergency surgery. So a visit to ER is a good thing. You need a treatment for your cough and cold, which is imperative otherwise it will increase the hernia or its complications.
