Think you have a hernia? Get screened for free!
Sign up today to get screen by a St. Joseph's/Candler Hernia Master Surgeon on January 24. St. Joseph's/Candler was the region's first Hernia Center of Excellence and continues to be the leader in hernia treatment.
Don't live in pain! Research shows that one in four people will suffer from a hernia during their lifetime - that uncomfortable and painful bulge that gets worse when you cough, strain or lift.
Do you have any of these symptoms?
- A lump in the groin or in the sac that holds the testicles (the scrotum)
- Pain or pressure in the groin that gets worse when you cough, strain, lift, or exercise
- A burning feeling in the lump
- Steady, growing pain if the blood supply to the bulging part of the intestine is cut off (called a strangulated hernia)
- Learn about other hernia symptoms here.
Although more common in men, hernias also affect women and can sometimes go undetected.
