Most hernias require surgical repair to prevent complications like strangulation (when blood flow to the herniated tissue is cut off).
When to Seek Medical Attention
While mild or occasional pain on the right side may not be cause for alarm, it’s important to seek medical attention if you experience:
Sudden, severe pain
Pain accompanied by fever, nausea, vomiting, or a change in bowel movements
Pain that persists or worsens over time
Difficulty breathing or swelling
Prompt medical attention can help
