There are different types of hernias. depending which kind you have, there will be different symptoms. Check out the link below for more information...
"A person can sometimes feel a hernia as it develops. There may be tenderness or a slight burning sensation in the area where the hernia is developing. Sometimes a person can push the hernia back into place. In other cases, the hernia may just disappear by itself. In still other cases, the hernia cannot be pushed back into place easily."
"About half of the people with hiatal hernias have no symptoms. Those who do have symptoms are likely to experience heartburn. Heartburn is caused when stomach acid is pushed back into the esophagus."
"Hernias are fairly easy to diagnose. A doctor can usually feel the hernia simply by touching it. The doctor may ask the patient to cough. The extra pressure caused by coughing will make the hernia stick out even more, making it even easier to feel."
A hernia is very painful, when you make a bowel movement it hurts more and it usually buldges a lot. See a Dr if you are really concerned.
