@sarkarsatarupa Characteristics of strangulated hernias are as follows:
Patients have symptoms of an incarcerated hernia
Systemic toxicity secondary to ischemic bowel is possible
Strangulation is probable if pain and tenderness of an incarcerated hernia persist after reduction
Suspect an alternative diagnosis in patients who have a substantial amount of pain without evidence of incarceration or strangulation
