Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD. Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query The commonest symptom of a femoral hernia is the swelling in the femoral triangle. There may also be the possibility of a lot of pain, that may increase on straining, like on coughing, straining for stools and lifting heavy weights. The ideal and easy way to diagnose it would be to meet a surgeon who can actually detect a hernia simply on examination. But there is the option of doing the ultrasound too. Ofcourse the examiner should know what you are looking for, because in a resting relaxed condition, the hernia may be reduced and therefore not detected I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further. I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided.
