Can a Abdominal Hernia Cause Internal Bleeding

A hernia occurs when intra-abdominal contents, commonly including preperitoneal fatty tissues, abdominal fluid if present, the peritoneum itself, and eventually omentum and intestines, traverse the ring to enter the inguinal canal. As time passes, the hernia contents may enlarge, extend the length of the canal, and even exit the canal through the external inguinal ring, an opening in the external oblique fascia, into the scrotum.

This condition can be dangerous as your intestines and other inside can come out through that hole and cause severe pain, and other serious situations. If your uterus or fallopian tubes came through the herniated muscle, then you need to go to the doctor ASAP to get this repaired and fixed as it could be life-threatening.
