About 10% of people have a hernia once in their life.\u00a0 Hernias are usually located in the groin, stomach or belly button, and they have various symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with a hernia is that it can turn into a medical emergency at any time. If your loved one believes they have a hernia, they should discuss it with their health provider as soon as possible, regardless of whether it is causing them pain or not.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hernias and Seniors: What to Look Out For<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In case your parent has a hernia, they will notice a lump on their body that can be big or small, soft or firm and painful or painless.\u00a0 If your loved one experiences a heavy sensation in the area where the hernia is located as well as swelling, they should visit their doctor.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Strangulated Hernia<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When the blood supply to the herniated tissue is cut off, strangulation of hernia occurs. Those who have a strangulated hernia can experience fever, sudden intense pain, nausea, and vomiting. Also, the lump can become larger or turn red or purple. When this happens, immediate surgery is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, your loved one should see how they can care for their hernia, and learn what to do in case their hernia starts to hurt or changes shape, size or colour.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hernias and Seniors: What to Do<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If your loved one suspects that they have a hernia, they should notify their doctor who will perform a physical exam and order an ultrasound or CT scan. In case your parent gets diagnosed, they should find out what type of hernia they have, whether they will need to get surgery and what kind of symptoms will alert them that their condition is getting worse.<\/p>\n<h3><b>The Best Senior Home Care Provider in Victoria, BC, is Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Firstly, if you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care.
