From the outside, it can look like a bulge or lump.Hernias in ChildrenIn the case of children, the protruding organ or tissue is sometimes only visible when the area is under strain, such as when the child is straining, coughing, crying, or otherwise exerting a lot of effort.

This is called an "incarcerated" hernia and does require immediate attention from a doctor. A "strangulated" hernia is even more serious and occurs when blood supply is cut off from the protruding tissue.Hernia...more
